A lazy day

Friday is my normal day off, so it's fitting that I didn't do much today.  I sat at the Quirinal Palace for a while, went into the "center" of town, had a leisurely lunch (rigatoni all'amatriciana, pollo alla romana), strolled into the area of Piazza di Spagna, and came back to the hotel.

For old times' sake, I bought an International New York Times.  I used to read its predecessor, the International Herald Tribune, when I lived here.  Of course I have the paper online.  I was interested in seeing its hard-copy format.  With the crossword, there's Jumble, sudoku, Doonesbury, Calvin and Hobbes. and Peanuts.
