Mamma mia, gia finito...

Back in France, so. After a little train-trip to Florence and then Pisa, Genova, Nice, Toulouse and my house.
Despite my monastic life, I was enjoying Rome, her thin streets and her green hills, her cappuccini and gelati, vespas and Romans. My Italian was also improving; too bad: I'll need to return in Italy to practice it more.
It's been a good time there, eventually. I learnt how to like this city, how to cook pasta and make cappuccinos. I also did understand that I wouldn't work at the Fao then: too much political and based on the interest of some countries. There are some good projects though, like the one I was working on.

There are the five best places I found in the area:
- the terrace of Castel San'Angelo, one of the best sights of the city (41°54'10.47"N/12°27'58.84"E)
- the gardens of Villa Medici, the other best sight on Rome (41°54'30.68"N/12°28'55.31"E)
- the market on Via Andrea Doria (from 41°54'32.00"N/12°26'56.28"E to 41°54'36.85"N/12°27'16.75"E)
- the lawn in the old temple, Ostia Antica (41°45'18.98"N/12°17'33.52"E)
- the decaying velodrome in the EUR (41°49'35.03"N/12°27'25.68"E)

That's all folks
Ciao ragazzi, ci vediamo en Hollanda
