Rome photo scavenger hunt :
1. Campo de' Fiori in the morning to sample olive oils and Balsamic vinegars at the market
3. Mail a post card from the Vatican City at Poste Vaticare
5. Walk up Gianicolo Hill - admire Rome and the cannons that fire at midday - change of plans! Visited Piazza Navona instead. Would try to find an apartment here next time, it's our favorite place to eat and relax.
7. Visit Trevi fountain at midnight! Another change of plans. Trevi is closed for construction until Late October.
8. Sample every flavor of Gelato at the Frigidarium in Piazza Navona ... "Frigidarium", voted our favorite flavor, which still seems a mystery to me what's actually in it. Caramel? Cake batter? I have no idea... calories, for sure.
9. Catch a glimpse of the eye of the Pantheon, or oculus ... arrived just as the doors closed for the day... so naturally we stopped for a pizza instead.
11. Pizza and vino at Dar Poeta ... well I missed the pizza shot... bruschetta anyone?
12. Selfie w/ The Sistine Chapel's ceiling. 5,000 square ft of frescoes. Don't get caught this time ... I felt bad breaking the rules so these pics have been carefully taken from inside my handbag... as you can tell I'm sure.
13. Lunch at La Boccaccia Trastevere for a broccoli and sausage pizza ... minus the broccoli.
16. Much needed dawn run through the Vatican City ... too many late nights turned our run into a stroll.
I'm writing from a little apartment on the 3rd floor of this street. It's 1:56am here in Trastevere and I have a terrible case of jet lag, still. Seven days of Roma and it's been a treat. See you tomorrow Chicago!
Until next Sunday at 7pm - Laura Rose
