So, Steve, Lisa, Elizabeth-Jane, and I played frisbee this afternoon in the Circus Maximus. Way cool. Italians and foreigners alike gathered on the hillsides, pinicking and watching with smiles on their faces our crazy game played "with the hands." Yay for frisbee.

At the end of our silliness and exhibition of our mad skills, Steve and I decided to have a race... around the entire Circus Maximus. "You know... just like in the old days... just without a horse.... or a chariot.... or a crowd--"

"Steve, we have a crowd"

"...ok, or an emperor. Out of curiosity, how long do you thinks this is?"

"Ummm, I'd give it a quarter or a half...."

"A half a mile??!!?"
