Soon I am leaving Rome, which will result in a blog break. Welcome back 2010, the year rumored to become the best year ever for the Sono a Roma blog. But first I give you my time in Rome 2009 in figures:

Bookstores

Today I went downtown to join the Christmas rush, cruising among the usual mix of Prada stores and beggars. I found myself lingering in bookstores: Anglo American Book Co. and The Lion Bookshop. Then I sat in the afternoon sun at Piazza Popolo and read “Wuthering Heights”.

In one week I will be back home with my girlfriend. I don’t think I have ever looked forward to something as much as seeing her again. Nine weeks is a long time.

The Embassy, Football & Random Photos

Eating Italian smorgasbord at the Swedish embassy, playing football, engaging in the currently quite stormy climate change debate (I dearly hope the skeptics are right, but I fear they are not), working out at the gym, hosting successful moving in party, and being busier than ever at work.

The past week has been hectic, hence a lack of blog posts.

But today I post some random photos of my time in Rome. Enjoy.

I have to learn to hold my camera straight.

Yeah it is easy to take photos of graffiti. And it is also very San Lorenzo.

Very Italian.

Windows.

Mr. Cool.

Sunday morning in Rome.
