Katharine C: checking out our tax $ at work and other sights

A driving vacation to Italy with stops in Rapallo, Rome and Ladispoli.

One of the US Embassy buildings on the Via Veneto .....

... this is the other one.  Great place to work!

Smart purchase by the US government in 1931 (that was the Depression, as I recall ...)

Probably the most well-maintained building in Rome that we saw

Trevi Fountain - about to be renovated with funds from Karl Lagerfeld;  apparently the high-end designer houses are funding renovations because the Eternal City's government has no money.  In many places, it showed. 


St Peter's Square - lines and lines. 

Portofino. We went by ferry from Rapallo - such fun.  Such boats.  The boat on the left is called the Lady Kathryn V, and is available for charter (450Keuros/week). 
The Tommy Hilfiger catamaran representing the USA in Ste. Margherita harbour
