Sunday 21 April

Trajan's Column
Today after a nice buffet breakfast, we visited the Imperial Forum, including Trajan's column and markets. We saw all the ruins on one side of the Via dei Fori Imperiale. There was a parade celebrating Rome's birthday. We had a good view from the top of Trajan's Markets, but we couldn't go inside the House of the Knights of Rhodes.

Lunch at Pastarito, a friendly pasta restaurant. We rested in the afternoon.


Fontana delle Tartarughe
In the evening we walked through the Jewish quarter and the Tortoise fountain, and crossed over the Tiber via the island to Trastevere. There we had a glass of Chianti Classico at Vin Allegro, and watched a pillow fight. Then we had dinner at Spice and Wine. I had marinated anchovies, saltimbocca and a Puglian Primitivo. They were playing seventies music.
