Snow in February

Snow fell in Rome on the morning of Friday 12 February. This fall was the heaviest in over twenty five years - according to some 'sources.' (This 'statistic' seems unspecific and generalization.)However I do remember waking to a good ground cover of snow in Rome just after Christmas 2003 (or was that 2004?!)

As of Easter Sunday (12 April 2009) www.capdox.com has a new face . . . and more new material, revised bibliography, a link to my bookshelf, as well as a revised annotated translation of the Capuchin Constitutions of 1536.

Back to Arezzo

Recently I returned to Arezzo to visit the Capuchin Friars there, and to look around the town. What a surprise to discover that the town hosts an Antiques Fair the last weekend of each month ... in this case, February.

Wandering 'round Rome

Recently enjoyed a few days with a guest, Jean Davies from Murrurundi, New South Wales. Being an artist, Jean found plenty of inspiration in the historic centre of Rome.
