After breakfast, we headed to Piazza Navona. Since it was so close to christmas, the plaza was a bit like a carnival with games and a merry-go-round. Jenn got some roasted chestnuts. (they were ok)
We continued on to Campo di Fiore, which held a farmer’s market this morning. It seemed like it was the market all the restaurants came to for their produce. The vendors were prepping tons of vegetables; artichoke hearts, ribboning vegetables, etc. And they had enormous lemons!
Since we were in the neighborhood, we went to the Pantheon. It was huge. Much larger than I expected and more grand.
There were two guys playing metallica in the courtyard here. One was playing a guitar and the other had a cello. It was pretty badass. We went on to Largo Argentina which had ruins of four temples, though now it’s overrun by cats. We also saw Trajan’s Column.
