Rome
We had a lovely first day. After checking in we walked around and ended up at Piazza Navonna, where we had lunch in an ultra touristy place with a great view of the crowd. The had good Jewish artichokes. There were children dressed up for Marti GRAS and some confetti, but it wasn't Rio. Then we walked some more and ended up at Castello San Angelo at dusk. We got a table at the bar there overlooking St. peter's and watched the lights go on. It was really lovely. We had dinner in Campo die Fiori. I thought it was good, and not everyone was a tourist. I had rotini with anchovies and cauliflower, mostly because I wondered what the menu could possibly mean. I liked it.

In Italian its called Carnevale. It is mostly for kids.Glad you are having a good time.
What are Jewish artichokes?
Watching the lights come on over a city sounds very nice.
Jo was up soon after 6 a.m. and got Sus up. They had a toasted waffle, drove into your driveway for the bus. Fortunately, the snow stopped after about 5 in.yesterday. More was predicted. No problem driving. We allowed 50 min. for the drive to Asbury Church, did not need it. Only Reed Rd. had snow on it. Nice sunny day today.
Sarah, they take a whole artichoke and smash it flat, then deep-fry it. Delicious. Mom, is your driveway okay? How was the concert? How was class acts?
Class Acts was interesting. There were a few that really had it all together, that is the singing , or whatevertalent, as well as the mike working so they could be heard.
For me ROS was an up and down experience. I could not take standing in place for so long. I am weak.
Sara-Paola's has an artichoke dish based on the Jewish Roman preparation of the artichoke-delish! So did Lattanzi in restaurant row some years ago.
