Breakfast and a Walk in the Ghetto

As we did not have breakfast supplies we took off to find breakfast in the Jewish part of town across the river. We found the Jewish bakery visited by Rick Steves in his video and recommended on trip advisor so bought two of the cheesecakes. These actuallly are pastry filled with ricotta and either a fruit jam or chocolate. We ate one and Nancy packed the other around all day and we had it for dessert. It was better warmed up. We had it with another Nespresso in a paper cup on a bench in the square where the sparrows were quite aggressive trying to get crumbs before they hit the ground, or even snatching from your fingers. Doug got quite annoyed at the pigeons and birds wanting his breakfast - not the most relaxing time but memorable. 🤨
The area included the very impressive ruins around the Marcellus Theatre and Portico d'Ottavia near the Tiber up to the pretty Turtle Fountain and lovely Piazza Margana.
