I Need a Vacation

Here we are, sitting on the train getting ready to leave Rome for Venice. Yesterday was a great day. Very warm again. We took off from the hotel about 10 am to find the Campo de' Fiori (field of flowers), which is where Caesar was assassinated. It is a wonderful outdoor market where they sell flowers, fruits, vegetables, and a few touist items. We found a nice cafe and enjoyed some snacks and watched people.

As it started getting warm, we headed out to try and hit as many fountains and squares as we could. This was our last day in Rome, so we wanted to make the best of it. We went back to Trevi (pictured here), Novonna, and lastly we went to Piazza del Popolo. The area seemed to be the Goth part of the city with all the young people in black and piercings etc.

Vinnie was working again today after a couple days off, so we went back al Nuovo Fagianetto for dinner. Tom and Tino really liked it for the food. Collette and Theresa liked it for the waiter, and maybe the food. Once again, Vinnie treated us right. We had gnocchi, saltimbuco, and other specialties of Rome.

Next stop, the Grand Canal in Venice. But that is jumping ahead a bit. Ciao for now.
