It's hot . . .

Since we arrived in Rome six weeks ago, the weather has been a bit erratic--clear skies in the morning and downpours in the afternoon; one day it's scalding hot and the next, we need to wear jeans and sweaters to walk around the city. All this time, we've been waiting for the weather to conform to the information that past participants in the Rhetoric of Rome program provided us. Lucky us! It's finally happened (now, go back and read the two preceding two sentences sarcastically). We've had nothing but ninety degree weather (plus) for the past few days, and it looks like it will remain that way until the end of our brief semester. Keep up with the Roman weather here.
