Ambra (We called her Amber)

This is Ambra an archeologist in Rome. She told us to call her Amber (I am not making this up). She took us through her underground site bubbling over with enthusiasm and boiling over with pride. Forty-five minutes into the half-hour tour, she said "Shit, I think I talk too much" we encouraged her to go on as she was just getting to the entertaining bits of treason, poisoning, rape, mutilation, fratricide, parricide other management tools, methods and processes of Imperial Rome. We thought there was a trace of a Gaelic accent, but she said there wouldn't be a reason. Amber wanted to study Astronomy but her mom decided for something with job security (archeologist in Rome); she is very superstitious, never wears pink on Wednesdays, only drinks red wine, loves 60's R&B and hopes one day to go to San Francisco to see the Golden Bridge, her favorite.
