Day 3
Left the apartment go to the market at campo dei fiori, walked around and took pictures. We'll be back to pick up some cheese to take back home. Headed to the Pantheon and through Piazza Navona. The weather was beautiful. Toured the Pantheon with Rick Steves, after strolling around the back streets, decided it was time to eat lunch, all the waiters in Campo dei fiori are really creepy looking, (dark and middle eastern looking) saying things like "heellloo preeety girl". So we found a small pizzeria which was quite good. When we were done, we took out the directions to Capitol Hill and decide walk since it said only 6 minutes (driving time not walking) which turned into a 2 mile hike in the sun in the opposite direction, because google maps sent us to Castel San Angleo. We figured since we were here we'd go inside and tour it. After reading Rick Steves books, decided not to, after he said the tour was an exercise on the stair master. Too hot and tired. So we headed towards the Vatican to get a taxi. Back at the apartment the weary rested their feet, had a cold glass of water and 40 winks. Rested, we went back out over the bridge to get Kristen a top and some gelato. Back at the apartment again before dinner we chatted with Dave. Went to dinner in our piazza at Grazia and Graziella, we shared a brushetta which I think was better than last night. Dinner was so much better, I had veal saltimboca with grilled vegetables, K ravioli with ricotta and spinach, we shared cheese cake, nothing we'd ever had before. Creamy ricotta surrounded by jam and sponge cake. Back at the apartment we chatted with Dave again, didn't chat too long, since he had Eric and Marie over for lunch.
