Packing It In

Our return flight was from Copenhagen

to Newark. We made the most of the last 

two days. On Day One we left Tropea

with a taxi ride to Lamezia where we

caught a fast four-hour train to Rome.

We stayed overnight at the very nice

Hotel Barocco on Piazza Barberini.

That afternoon and the next morning

we walked all around Rome,

the main shopping streets and the sights.

We made two major purchases, a small 

hairbrush and a package of dried porcini. 

Rome is still a treasure house of

elegant products, inedible and edible.

The streets were packed with tourists.

We managed to see a good number of

the famous sights.

A column by a Roman somebody who
conquered a lot of territory.

A needle.

"World leaders" showed up after our visit.

On Day Two we flew to Copenhagen, checked 

into an airport hotel, 

Atrium Of the Clarion Hotel, a 400-room
hotel directly connected to the arrival terminal,
a tremendous convenience in our circumstances.

showered and took the metro 

to a celebratory dinner at AOC restaurant

(celebrating our survival of a very strenuous  

and ultimately very satisfying trip.)

Not all dishes were photographed.

Bread, too!

Perhaps the claws should be wrapped 
in gold foil or fruit leather booties.

On the following day we flew to Newark.
