| Trevi Fountain from where he parked |
After we left the Vatican, Sandro took us to the Trevi fountain where we both threw coins in. |
| Looking out over the rooftops at lunch |
Since we had no breakfast, I was feeling a little empty so we had an early lunch at a place called Ciampini which had a little pool with turtles in the middle. My grandson ordered a cheeseburger, and fries, and it came with BBQ sauce. I asked for catsup for him, and when he switched the little pot of BBQ sauce off his plate, it slopped all over the tablecloth. I had a chicken salad which was good. There was a 2 € charge for the bread, which my grandson mostly ate. . |
| Toilet in the ladies room |
After we ate, I had a cup of coconut gelato. It would have been 6€ if I had it at the table, but if I took it out it was only 2€. I think Sandro was wary of my eating in the car, but he let me get in while I was still eating, and I put the cup in my bag so it wouldn't make the car messy I went to the bathroom which had a foot treadle for the water in the sink, and it took me awhile to figure it out |
| Walking up to the coliseum |
After that Sandro let us off at the coliseum, and we walked all around the upper deck and then around the lower deck to the entrance. We didn't get a guide - we just looked. |
Then we went by several other sites including the Circus Maximus, Spanish Steps, the Knights of Malta keyhole, the city gate with the pyramid, |

and the Basilica of St. Paul Fuori le Mura. |
| My "No Sugar Added" Pineapple Cream Cake |
We were back at the boat by 4:00. For dinner I had the chilled melon soup (ginger and mint) and pasta. My grandson had the 8 oz. sirloin steak and fries. He had ice cream (plain vanilla) for dessert, and I had the "No Sugar Added" Pineapple Cream Cake. Tomorrow we will be in Naples |
