I've returned from my Roman holiday and I have to say, it was certainly a fantastic week. I'll have to go home and upload my pictures from my new Canon Powershot SD400 and do a sort of week in pictures.
Technologically related points from my Roman excursion:
- During the month of August, Villa Borghese is offering free WiFi. If I had a laptop, I would have certainly found a nice spot in the park and surfed a bit.
- We hit up many Internet points, a place to sit and surf for about .50 euro for fifteen minutes. Italian keyboards took a little bit of getting used to, but I managed fine and sent word home on our many adventures.
- I found a Mac center just of Via Cola di Rienzo, a short stroll from our hotel. On the outside was an iPod poster. Remind me to post that picture.
- We had a late night beer with a tour guide from New Zealand that we befriended after seeing the darker parts of Rome. He was talking about his travels and told us that he just recently applied for charity work through Vodafone -- if he is accepted, he can do charity work for up to a year and Vodafone will take care of his expenses. How cool.
- Everyone has a mobile phone. I can't tell you how many times I heard ringing and then "pronto?" (Italian for "hello?")
- WiFi is slow in Rome. Just so you know.
