Hello friends and family!

20 hours in Rome, that's probably good. I heard its kind of boring and small, a pop stand really. Its so boring and small that people actually think that it was built in a week. I'm sure you've heard the famous phrase, "Rome wasn't built in 7 days." The Rome Chamber of Commerce came up with that one in the 50's to undo the rumor and the city's dull reputation. In fact, I think the widespread use of that phrase is the city's greatest acheivement.
Now if you ever come to the Windy City, the City of Broad Shoulders, the Hog-Butcher to the World, the City that said I Will, you'll definitely need more than 20 hours to behold all of our wonders.
