It’ll probably still be there when you get back to the smoking ash heap that used to be the US. Don’t sweat it!

I'm on the Board of Trustees of a school there, so I spend most of my time in meetings. But the meals are good and I have tickets for a tour of Nero's Domus Aurea, which was closed when I was a student.
