Easter Monday in Rome

There is not much open in Rome on Easter Monday but we had a walk along the river to St Peters Basilica to view the hordes of people intent on seeing the church. We were happy to view the square designed by Bernini and walked back along the Via Guilia hunting for a fountain. It looked like it might rain so we dashed to a cafe in the Campo di Fiori for a wine and pizza special and then a siesta. The weather improved so Liz and I went hunting for the remains of the Temple of Isis which we finally found - well at least the foot of a statue at any rate! Then we were on a Caravaggio trail and found the vicolo d'amore ( a small street where allegedly Caravaggio killed a man in a duel and had to flee Rome) and then saw 3 of his pictures in the Church of San Luigi dei Francesi along with half of Rome. We are getting into the habit of drinking aperitifs at home before heading out to dinner. We ate at the pancake place in our square which was very strange and almost inedible - who would have thought - a bad meal in Rome!
