These are some photos from Rome of me and my favorite expatriate friends. During the last few weeks I've seen each of them almost every day. Dena is writing her dissertation on double portraits from the 16th century. Dave is teaching English and hating Italian women more and more every day. Melanie is teaching English and craving Italian men more and more each day. As for me, I'm just thinking about how strange it will be not to be able to see them once I return to New York. Proximity is a horribly limiting thing.
