New Zealand’s National Rugby union team the “All Blacks” are in Rome this week and will play an Italian team this coming Saturday November 12 at the Olympic stadium in Rome. The team has a fabled history and is generally known as the worlds best Rugby team. Since they started playing internationally in 1903 they have only lost to 6 of the 19 teams they have played at any time since  the start. The name comes from the uniform they were wearing in the 1905 tour which was all black with a silver fern on it.

Christmas came early to Venice

No, it didn’t snow and we are almost two months away from the holidays… – Hollywood Magic with some good set dressing, the panhandler even had a sign that said “Happy holidays! Anything helps!”. People were walking around with bags of wrapped gifts and dressed for cold weather with scarfs and big jackets.

It looked like they were shooting something Christmas related for CBS on Windward west of Pacific.

Otherwise the weather is somewhat on the cool side this morning, about 16 Celsius.
