Saturday’s adventures in Monti

Sorry pictures don’t necessarily post in correct order.

Saturday was a “full day!”
Spent many hours exploring the neighborhood called Monti (translates to mountains as it is very hilly). It is very near Colosseum.
- Explored Basilica di San Petro where a very famous sculpture was created by Michaelangelo.
- then I stumbled upon Museo dei Fori Imperiali which has been excavated and there are many rooms that explain how this Forum was created.
- Also there is a park (Parco del Colle Opio) at one end of Monti that you can see is right next to the Colosseum
- finish off this part of the day with lunch at Trattoria da Valentino
- Andi I had to include this picture of a Vespa w/ a sidecar. Never one of those before! 🤗
- then last night I join a group called ex pats living in Rome for dinner at ristorante Santa Lucia (just off of Piazza Navona) this where the movie Eat Pray Love was filmed starring Julia Roberts
