I returned from Rome a few days ago, but it still feels like I’m on Roman time. The research, however, was a smashing success. But for this trip, I would have botched my chapters on Castel Sant’Angelo. Despite copious research, I never would have understood that ancient structure until seeing it with my own eyes.
On another note, the Pantheon is beautiful at night! (Both the Pantheon and Castel Sant’Angelo will play a role in the sequel to Enoch’s Device.)
I’m grateful I had a chance to return to Rome for some on the ground research, and I promise a more substantive blog post next week once I’ve caught up on some sleep. Ciao!
