27 May 2025 Rome: Lunch and More Wandering

 


We have been lucky with our eateries.  Either we know how to choose them or all restaurants are good in Rome. After fueling our tanks, we headed out for more wandering. We made it to the river and walked along the banks under the towering gum trees.  What fun!



The ladies with parasols would be happy


An old picture of the men out in the ally watching a match


Anchovy covered bread to start


Pistachio encrusted salmon


Carbonara 


A red sauce pasta


Home is where the wine is


Italy has a sasquatch!


All things woven


A cane chair purse


Woven cacti


A church!


That is what the chicken says


The small streets are the most fun to wander along


Great mosaic


Imposing structure, seemingly abandoned


Sisters walking along the river


Pull my finger


This was a regular sized cruise boat but the flood walls are immense


A very fancy light pole


So delightful


Note the runner lower left to get an idea of the flood wall size


The Tiber River


Oops, a hole in the bridge


So peaceful


Punny


Cute dog hitch


With dog attached


The ancients camera heads


Nice new shoes


No need to cross the street


Fruit or dessert?


Another fountain


Meep meep


We came across an African man playing this instrument


I believe this chimp is smoking a cigar


Classy neighborhood


We found a park that is for sitting down and resting.  That is why they had this statue here


Just a guy sitting next to us


He appears to be quite stylish


Maybe a jeweler 


The crows were bathing in the fountain


Territorial issues


Heading to a taxi stand we came upon some ruins


Roman ruins 


Right in the middle of town


 A tiny truck


    It has been 2 years and 355 days since we began our Migration
