In case you're heading to Rome (or like to be an armchair tourist)

See It's a country within a city by John Bordsen (Charlotte Observer, July 23, 2006) for a travel article with a twist. Mr. Bordsen interviewed Jeffrey Kirby, a 31-year-old seminarian who has lived in Vatican City for three years while attending the North American College, for tips for tourists heading to Rome or Vatican City.

And, no. I don't want to go see "the Bone Church". Thanks, anyway. I am with Our Correspondent Kirby's mother on this one. There are other ways to teach the intended lesson that don't involve not giving people a proper burial, I think. But thanks for the warning.
