Salt Castings

Just finished reading Four Seasons in Rome by Anthony Doerr.  It’s a short story about a writer who moves from Boise to Rome with his wife and infant twin boys on a year-long fellowship.  His style makes for a very fun read and the subject matter was very relevant to me: both on the challenges of managing life with babies and the simple fact that there could never be enough time to fully explore the history and culture of one of my all-time favorite cities.  So compelling, I felt like I was there watching it all happen, hearing the people, feeling the weather and smelling the espresso.  Unrelated to the book, I love the satellite view of the city via Google.
