We’re in Rome, a place too overflowing with history, art, architecture and culture to possibly capture in a day and a half. I just told myself I’ll be back for a longer stay someday, so whatever I’m able to catch while I’m here is wonderful, but I’m not going to wring myself out. Katie and I are both a little sick with sore tonsils, probably from all the hot and cold air involved in traveling between hot humidity and air conditioned rooms. I did get to run around St. Peter’s Basilica yesterday with the light and sound guys while K. rested. Is that the cathedral of all cathedrals or what? Pics later.

Meanwhile, I thought I’d throw up as many photos as I could before my 5 Euro 30-minute wireless card runs out.

Here are a few of the aforementioned “Fish Net” party, starting with the lobster we found on our bed before the party:       

And of course we didn’t miss the chance to do Drag Queen karaoke. I couldn’t believe they had a Cake song on the list, so I did “Short Skirt, Long Jacket.” Katie had the huevos to do “Proud Mary” (the Creedence version). We forgot that the whole thing would be on cruise tv, so hundreds of people saw it later and told us all about it. Yikes. And, again, the hottest boys ever from Boise enjoyed it with us. Jason sang the very un-gay “Kodachrome” by Paul Simon. Marquis produced a unique version of “Let’s Get it On.” Katie wore her real cowboy cousin’s shirt:

           
Finally, just a few pics of Pompeii, which was unbelievable. Marce, as an archaeologist, you would have died (but you’ve probably already seen it):           And Katie wanted you to appreciate the outfit this lovely couple was wearing. See, you don’t have to be fashionable to be gay:
