Thursday in Rome



Today was a quieter day as my foot looked a bit dodgy today. We walked to the Pantheon and the to the Palazzo Altemps which has lovely sculptures and a pretty loggia. After buying out a nice toy shop we repaired home for a siesta.

In the afternoon we visited only 2 churches - Santa Maria in Aracoeli which has a rather creepy baby Jesus chapel and Santi Cosmo e Damiano with lovely mosiacs. Both are next to the forum. We met up with Hugh and repaired to a nice bar near the Theatre of Marcellus for a bottle of Prosecco. We are going to return to a lovely place around the corner for dinner tonight so I can have what Liz had - yummy ravioli.
