It’s back to ancient Rome with Round Six. It looks like some of our participants are getting close to the goal, so we’ll have to actually create the prize in the next week or so!

Another day of photos of Rome is ready for your viewing pleasure. We spent October 26th in the diverse environs of the northern part of Rome — gardens, museums, fountains, and of course, piazzas. (Pizzas, too, for dinner that night.) Here’s the link for the set. (more…)
