Incredible trip, amazing photos, bumps Italy up a few notches on my personal list. Fun fact, taking Communion in a Catholic church without yourself being a Catholic in good standing is extremely, extremely verboten. Did you not know this, or are you so based that you simply didn't care?

Seagulls are the same everywhere, I think. Once, years ago, I was at the San Francisco Zoo with my wife and daughter, and while we were having lunch, a seagull swooped in and snagged the hot dog right out of the bun my daughter was holding. The vendor gave us another one free when we told her what had happened.

LOL. Your modeling is the real hidden gem. The talent there, it just points out that you’re in the wrong profession, ultimately.

Also, you did us honor with that Civ 5 reference. Steam claims I’ve played 1200 hours of that, roughly. That can’t be.

Not a coincidence. I visited in 2022; according to a tour guide, the government knowingly allowed a terror attack on the synagogue some decades ago and now provides a gendarme by way of apology.

Interesting. This seems to be what you're referring to: https://www.timesofisrael.com/italy-to-probe-claims-government-enabled-1982-terror-attack-on-rome-synagogue/

The allegation is still denied, so it doesn't seem that the gendarme is part of an official apology.
