I was there last year in late August, man I don't know what I was thinking. It was 40+ C and absolutely miserable. I did the Vatican museum (you get can get a pizza and beer there) and the basilica including the hike up to the cupelo; great view of Rome form up there. You should at least do the museum to see the Sistine Chapel if you haven't already, it is impressive. But, I just couldn't take the heat there and had to head north the next day to cool off a bit. So, I look forward to your report on the Colosseum and the Forum, etc. since I missed them. Well, I hope it’s not too hot for you there.

Security personnel are ex-soldiers who have just served as fighter commanders. The airports take people who’ve just finished their service in the IDF (21-22 year olds).

Tell them one of the filmmakers that was there in October sent you, we were there all the time and they're very friendly.

I had to enter immigration regardless because of the transfer of flights. Greece was my entrance into the Schengen zone. I had no problems at all.

My general impression has been that if you're just on a layover in a country, they tend not to be fond of you leaving the airport, and it can be a hassle to get back inside for the second leg.

On the ground floor there is a convinient little grocery store that although always full of people pushing ahead of you in line has all the sandwich stuffs and cheap beer you might need. Also, look into getting a Roma Pass if you don't have one. You can buy this just down from the grocery store at a Tabak shop in the station.

Not to take too much time, but you mentioned one of the very things I loved so much about Rome: You can't go around a corner without encountering history.Anyway, now that you're rested... Although it might sound hokey, a Vatican tour really is an amazingly cool thing to do. But it's so big, and they try to cover so much, you'll feel like you're running the entire time! Whatever you do, have fun. I'll definitely check back to see where you go next. New to your blog, so: Wow!!
