I am proud to report that Steve has recently served as cicerone and done a very good job of it. Yesterday, he insisted in leading me on a walk aross the river to the Ghetto, past il Compidoglio, along the Forum and onto the Colosseum. Once there, we stopped for lunch and then I led us to the Cathedral of Santa Maria Maggiore and a long walk home through Monti and past Trajan’s market.
Today it was my turn again and despite the pouring rain, Steve agreed to leave the house in the afternoon to walk to Palazzo Venezia in order for me to show him the exhibit of Sebatiano del Piombo. We both got soaking wet walking home but it was worth it. The exhibit was even better the second time.
Tonight was also our second experience of ethnic food in Rome. This time it was Vietnamese cuisine. And once again, I was surprised that the waiters spoke no English but only Italian or French. Food was just OK. Definitely needed additional hot sauce to bring it up to Philly standards.
