Rome in the rain



Today the BBC was right for once and there were heavy showers- luckily we had a visit to a nice art gallery full of Raphaels and Caravaggios in the impressive Palazzo Barberini. The elliptical shape of the window in the photo is reminiscent of many of Bernini's architecturals designs. Or is it Borromini? As it was free we felt justified in having a nice lunch with wine in a famous pizza place called Da Buffetto's.

Liz says she will never eat again after her 4 cheese calzone. Then we had a lovely afternoon snoozing and reading and not feeling guilty as it was raining. We were awakened by the dramatic sounds of the organ from the church next door. Very atmospheric. Today's second photo is the view of our square from the window - I have to say much quieter than usual. I think it must be time for a campari.
