An early morning walk around the Roman Coliseum and Forum. Violins can be heard playing from our second story apartment window here in Trastevere. Dwana has a case of the sneezes.
A colossal day. An early morning adventure to explore around the Colosseum. Everywhere I looked a new picture was waiting to be taken. A city like San Francisco. Very few children walking around. Lots of young people walking around. Good to see couples walking hand in hand again after so long. People running around the Colosseum or walking on their way to work. Too early for the tour buses and the masses, but they would arrive. You can count on it. 24 Euros for admission into the Colosseum. Kids were free. Worth it. 12 Euros each. So huge a place. Preserved. Here in Rome. A city built around the ruins. Ezra and Viena are more interested in wedding rice, race cars, and baby statues – but who can blame them. We came back home and Dwana made a wonderful Roman pasta meal. We found a farmers market. Need to go back there tomorrow. We took another walk in the afternoon. Now more people were out. We heard the bells of the big church. The biggest church we have ever been in. We saw the bells. The bells have replaced the prayer calls of the mosque and Buddhist loudspeaker chants. At the end of the day we ran into some streets blocked off for Yom Kippur. We walked around the narrow cobblestone streets winding our way back home through the neighborhood maze – Ezra begging for shoulder rides. Violins can be heard playing from our second story apartment window here in Trastevere. Dwana has a case of the sneezes.
