So we’re heading back to NYC tomorrow, back to the cold. Life at the Hotel Diplomatic has been pretty good, we’ve slept and ate more than anything.There is still only one fulltime English channel on TV, CNN International, which shows the same news in a loop every 15 minutes. Not that its annoying, or anything. Not that its annoying, or anything. Not that its annoying, or anything. There’s also MTV, which for about 2 hours a day plays programming in the English language.

Then there’s Sky Sport 1 and 3, which show soccer, soccer, soccer, soccer, and men’s indoor field hockey. Riveting.

So, what else can we say, other than Italy has been great. We did as much as we could in 2 weeks, but clearly, more than 2 weeks is needed to really explore all of Italy. If there is a next time, perhaps we’ll cover Milan, Naples, and the south of Italy.

We’ll be sure to call our moms when we get home.
