I had a fantastic weekend in Rome. We were lucky to have beautiful weather - the sun was out the whole time. My only complaint would be that we did not have enough time. We arrived Saturday late morning and had to leave Sunday afternoon. That said, I saw many of the important sites, including the Colosseum, Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Museum, Pantheon, Saint Peter's Square, The Spanish Steps, etc, etc. We walked around the city, over the river to Trastevere for dinner. We stayed at the Kolbe Hotel, a beautiful 4 star hotel with a backyard full of orange, lemon and clementine trees (which I helped myself to). I took 100+ photos, but I chose my favorites to share:
Il Colosseo
La Fontana di Trevi
The most delicious Roman pizza
Tartufi per 135 euro
Trastevere
Pasta con aragoste
Pasta con pomodori, mozarrella bufala e melanzane
Sistine Chapel
Cannot wait to return. There was a market next to our hotel that had lots of local vendors selling fresh cheese, preserves, produce and bread...with LOTS of opportunities to taste. I bought a pumpkin spread that tastes incredible with ricotta on fresh bread. YUM.
There's rarely enough time in Rome; so much to see! Sounds like you put in a nice dent. Hope all is well! Ciao for now!
