We went to the market in Campo de' Fiori, where there were displays of flowers ... |
 |
|
|
 |
|
and the usual beautiful fresh fruit. |
 |
|
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
We went across the river to Trastevere, where we had lunch at a cafe on Piazza di Santa Maria ... |
 |
|
with a view of the Basilica di Santa Maria in Trastevere. |
 |
|
Then back along the river to Castel Sant'Angelo. |
 |
|
|
 |
|
One of the statues on Ponte Sant'Angelo. |
 |
|
We took a suburban train to Ostia Antica, the ancient port of Rome. We enjoyed it more than we had enjoyed Pompeii back in early June. The walls stood higher, although this may have been the result of restoration. |
 |
|
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
There will still some mosaic floors. |
 |
|
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
Unlike Pompeii, Ostia Antica had some trees and shade. |
 |
|
|
 |
|
Statue of Minerva. |
 |
|
The trattoria where we had our last meal in Rome ... |
 |
|
with the food on display outside. |
 |
|
|
| That's it for the places we visited in 2006, but we have some Odds and Ends. |
