Roma:Part 2
With the last of the autumn leaves being held tight by the trees,
my lovely host family took me to see a few more sights before my departure.
December 8th was a Bank Holiday and proved to be a perfect day to explore more of Roma.

Taking a stroll through the market at Campo Dei Fiori
The general atmosphere is a wonderful vibe!
On the way to Piazza Navona
Piazza Navona
One of Roma's most famous Squares, built on what was the former Stadium of Domitian.
This particular Square has 3 fountains.
Moor Fountain
Fountain of the four rivers
A beautiful square filled with many open air restaurants and stores.
As it was just before Christmas there were people selling roasted Chestnuts.
A first for me :)
A first for me :)
The Pantheon
The most preserved building of ancient Roma

Sadly due to the bank holiday, it closed earlier than usual and I was unable to see inside.
Guess I will just have to go back, eh?
There was another important thing I needed to accomplish before leaving Rome.
Gelato.
Eating some, that is.
We hunted for this wonderful gem, a recommendation by a relative in Roma
Thankfully we found it, we almost gave up.

The only trouble was what to decide of the 150 flavours :)Coconut, pistachio & hazelnut the winners!Definitely worth putting on your list of places.
As the last of the light dipped behind the horizon, Roma took on a new beauty.
Lights revealing a new mysterious charm.
Just down the road from the Tiger store we stopped in, were these ruins in a stark contrast from the new shopping stores and other buildings that surrounded it.
Largo di Torre Argentina
A square that hosts four Republican Roman temples and the remains of Pompey's Theatre.
Retracing our steps to get to our car, it was a wonderful opportunity to see all we saw by day, in the night and being a few weeks from Christmas there were beautiful lights.
It was a lovely day.
And worth having a wander to some of these places if you get a chance,
Ciao for now,
