The Vestal Morons

John's Unofficial Trip Position: Photographer to the photographers.
Where: Ostia Antica
Famous Why?: A massive (truly) complex of uncovered largelyBC built ruins, Ostia Antica is particularly famous for being the spot where St. Augustine conversed with his mother St. Monica in what is arguably the most mystical and beautiful passage of The Confessions. St. Monica would die shortly thereafter. We read that passage of the confessions today at that precise spot of Ostia.
Who is in this photo?: Front: Dannilu. Middle: Monica. Far back: Angela
What are they all taking photos of?: A complicated question. Angela was taking photos of Dannilu and Monica who were taking photos of Danni Ampi, who was up top taking photos of them, while I took photos of all three of them. Confused yet? I am. I suppose the saddest (or best, depending on your outlook) part of this is that this was not staged.

Danni Ampi's picture of me taking pictures of Angela taking pictures of Monica and Danni Lu taking pictures of Danni Ampi. Yes, that is all quite accurate.

Location: San Pudenzia basilica. The colours of the exterior of this basilica were extraordinary. The whole time I was just dreaming of having a decent SLR camera. This point-and-shoot with its constant wide apeture is more than a little annoying.

Be distracted

Some of you may have noticed that there haven't been many updates on this blog for some time. Besides the fact that I one day woke up and suddenly realized that perhaps I should get a life, there's also the fact that we in Rome are immersed in the midst of finals, while trying to balance the difficult task of having as much fun as humanly possible. This blog has fallen a tad to the wayside. And so, to distract you from the fact that there haven't been very many pretty photos lately to allow you to vicariously live the awesome lives that we Romans lead and to alleviate some of the burden of your own mind-numbing existence, I thought perhaps it would do well to distract you all with this one. Julian has admitted that it is appropriate that he pay penance for not putting his own two cents into this blog on a more regular basis, but questions whether or not promulgating this photo to the world might be a little too severe. I think it is appropriate. Clint's suffering is pur...

In Class in Rome

In Class in Rome By Romulus Something of the Renaissance Is on that page, inside this book. Such lovely, lifelike lines, you see? You’d like it if you’d only look. Across the flowing Tiber Begins to swing a booming bell As if to say; “Here is the spot Where wept the painter, Raphael.” The voice drones on I think to yell: Why don’t you show Instead of tell!

Pilgrimage to the Monasteries of Sts. Scholastica and Benedict

In the town of Subiaco, home of the papacy's former summer residence, the ruins of Nero's giant villa, and the monasteries of Benedict and Scholastica, and ten others, we came upon this unexpected place of worship. The headquarters (or maybe midquarters or footquarters) of the Communist Party. I think the party's office workers were slightly taken aback at the evident glee this find caused our entire group of thirty students. Walking the steps that lead from the bottom of the mountain up to the monastery of St. Scholastica, and then, a couple thousand steps beyond this first place of meditation, that monastery named after her famous brother, St. Benedict. At the head of this group is our beloved Dublin-native chaplain, Fr. Mark. Halfway up the mountain. Subiaco is laid out before us, built at the base of, and all the way up a mountain, the whole amazing thing culminates in the fortress of the papacy's ancient and now abandoned summer residence. Leaving the monastery of ...
