It’s Christmas day so we went to St. Peter’s square for the Pope’s blessing.  It was pretty busy.

Afterward, we walked back through Piazza Navona and got porchetta sandwiches.  Sold out of a booth on the street, they have a pig stuffed with rosemary on a spit.  They slice off a hunk and put it between bread slices.  Very tasty.  We split off of the main tour group with a few others in the hopes to see inside St. Ivo church but it was closed.  We somehow missed rejoining our main tour group at the meeting point.  So we went back to Campo de Fiori and saw the Bruno statue and tried to do our own walking tour of the Jewish ghetto.  It was a shame we missed our group for this because we had a lot of trouble finding the sites we were trying to find.  In the cobblestones they placed small bronze plaques listing the names of those who were taken to Auschwitz.

We had another giant dinner with the tour group that night.
