In just a few days we’ve already seen A LOT.  There are so many farmer’s markets everywhere.  Exploring Trastevere is a lot of fun.  There are so many good eats and cool little shops; however I still have not bought anything substantial on this trip.  Be proud.  Pizza Romano is different than Napolitano.  It’s thicker butt he crust is generally tastier.  I’ve sampled quite a few different kinds so far: La Renella in Trastevere – almost like focaccia, try their zucchini flower pizza, Pizza Gianni in Trastevere – great pizza senza mozzarella (if that’s your thing), obviously Il Forno Campo di Fiori – amazing pizza, this is a great piazza and has a great farmer’s market every day (I think).  If you go to Campo di Fiori make sure to check out Piazza Farnessi and the French Embassy.  If you’re a chick, you might be able to talk your way in and see the inside.  I guess I don’t possess the proper kind of charm to get in there.  Regardless, get the pizza at Il Forno and eat it in front of the embassy.

We’ve also been to numerous churches… I would say about 40.  Not bad for a couple of heebs and in 3 days.  We even weaseled our way into the church where the Italian bureaucrats and Berlusconi himself go to pray and confess their sins – which are probably numerous.

Meals have consisted of lots of homemade pasta, braised short ribs, pork, different kinds of salads, veggies and various deserts including some kind of lemon cake that was spectacolo.

Go take a look at the AAR if you’re ever in Rome. The park in back is open until 6 PM I believe and the open entrance can be found on Via Giacomo Medici or Via Pietro Roselli. The front entrance is locked but it’s worth checking out as well. It’s at 5 Via Angelo Masina.
