Rome, Italy (Day 2)

What we did -
- Slept in! We’re getting pretty good at that. Trent went for a quick jog while Steph went to find a cafe. After a few failed attempts at different packed cafes she ended up back at the dinner spot from the night before! Trent met her there after showering and we kicked off our day
- Grabbed breakfast/lunch? around 12ish to get the notorious pizza pockets and Tuscan wines. See below.
- Headed across town to be tourists. Walked the spanish steps and threw coins in the fountain at Trevi Fountain! Steph channeled her inner Lizzie McGuire
- We then headed over to enjoy another highly recommended Gelato place - Frigidarium! Possibly one of our favorite spots of the trip. Trent got his dipped in a coating of chocolate like the good ol’ Dairy Queen days. But like classy and international DQ so i guess not like DQ.
- Ate our ice cream as we walked over to the Pantheon. Bit of a wait in line but did get in and pretty cool spot! Just impressive how such an old building can possibly have lasted so long.
- We then walked back across the river over to Giardino Dehli Aranci for sunset. Super cool hillside park/garden that overlooks all of Rome! Wandered around the scenic overlook parks and then headed back to the hotel for dinner.
- Put our name in for dinner and grabbed wine/charcuterie right in the center of Trastevere and people watched! Another good italian dinner and bottle of wine. There was a large group of musicians there celebrating a bday that sang three beautiful renditions of Italian Tanti Auguri. Capped off dinner and headed to bed full and exhausted! Another great day

What we ate:
- Coffees and croissants at Mimi e Coco
- Lunch at Trapizzino - one of Trents favorite meals of the trip! Got an assortment of their trademarked “pizza pockets” which are cones of dough filled with veggies and meats. Absolutely delicious. We voted the chicken one our favorite. Also tried our first Suppli which are little balls of risotto and cheese (the Roman version of Arancini - the Romans arguably do these better than the Sicilians)
- Dinner at Da Zi Umberto. Trent had delicious steak and mushrooms with a side of potatoes while Steph had truffle pasta with sausage. Table chianti to top if off!

Fun facts:
- The pantheon is the oldest most preserved building from ancient rome. Because it was declared a religious building it was protected and maintained
- $3000 worth of coins are thrown into the Trevi fountain daily. There used to be thiefs that would come in at night at steal it, but thats been cracked down and is now donated to charity
- Trappazino’s pizza pocket is an original concept now trademarked. He started with the little street stand in Rome and now has 6 spots across the world, including NYCRead more
