Breakfast & our immediate neighbourhood

Kitty corner to our street is a little panetteria -- Panetteria Romana e Spaccio di Paste -- which sells croissants and cornettos (croissant containing fillings, in our case custard). We had this along with (to Doug's disappointment) a Nespresso coffee in a paper cup. Up the street there were tiny stores selling milk and fruit as well (pricier than the local Conad Supermarket).

We then followed Rick Steves audio-tour of Trastevere, stopping in Piazza in Piscinula to admire a buiding where the wing on the right was built in medieval times and added on. Many buildings are built on to earlier ones and incorporate old building materials. Later that week we had an excellent ravioli at the trattoria in the square.Read more
