JnR’s trip to Italy (day three)

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)OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

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.
