The dates are fairly open because I think I will be driving from SoCal,
and can choose when to be there.

This will be new to me. That sounds good.

>Countersuggestions welcome as we are still in the pre-sketchy phase.
>Amara if you have a fave in the hood, do suggest.

I think many of my favorites will no longer exist. There used to
be a great Ethiopian restaurant named The Red Sea in San Jose, but
I don't remember how well it handled groups of people. I like Indian
food (practically doesn't exist in Rome). Even though I like sushi
alot, I will be filling up on that everywhere, so it's not important
if it is the food for our group dinner.

So the plan is _at least_ the 29th.. let's leave open the second
gettogether (I'm not sure yet).

Greetings from an interferometry school in Grenoble,
Amara
