Buona Sera, friends.
Its 2:00 p.m. in Roma. We packed in a lot today and are now ready to partake in the mid-day recovery tradition, siesta. Or, nap. Today we began at the Piazza del Popolo and sauntered down Via del Corso passing dozens of high-end boutiques, and one of the world's largest and most extravagant McDonalds.
At the Spanish steps, we contimplated negative capabilities with John Keats and saw the house where he pondered mortality for the final time and died.
There are fountains and piazzas everywhere here, they're all beautiful, and old.
Our last stop was the Pantheon. Absolutely incredible. The architecture of the enormous dome has baffled and inspired architects and artists alike for ages.
We also found the best little gelatto shop in all of Rome (allegedly). I totally believe it. I told the man to make me his favorite. Strawberry, cherry, yogurt, and whipped cream gelatto. Bar none of the most delicious things I have ever eaten. Hours later I can still remember the taste!
May be running out of time here, so I'll cut off so I don't lose the entry. More tomorrow! We're closing our tour of Rome in style with Vatican City!
