I got this delightful message from Irena and Sasha on Valentines day while I was at work.

At 7:10am Irena woke me up. "Get your clothes on, the taxi is here,
we're going...but I'm not telling you where." I jumped in the taxi 10
minutes later. It wasn't until we got to the airport that I realized
we were going off-island. To Rome. A little birthday trip.
The first stop was the amazing Colosseum. Did you know, 700k people
died there in 450 years. No wonder 2/3 of the outer walls were
removed to build St Peters. This was hardly a place to be
particularly celebrated by the Catholic church in the 1500's. Far
better to hack some of it away for a better cause. Still, its an
amazing site.

Simply the most magnificent building we've ever laid our eyes on. We dined in the Panthenon square at dusk and enjoyed good food, a nice bottle of red wine, and the best service we've ever had. We'll be back one day.
