Food and Wine and Fun

On our second day in Rome, after walking around a nearly empty, tranquil forum and the Palantine where I visited a rather spooky Cryptoporticus (dark, partially underground and damp) Hugh and I lived la dolce vita in the ghetto area of Rome which is close to our apartment. Had a sensational dinner of artichokes served in the traditional jewish way. Huge and divine. Our table looked over the Portico of Octavia and was very atmospheric.
