Thursday 30 October. Same weather except brutal hot sun.
Breakfast entertainment continues with the highly engineered coffee machine. Beautiful, many alternatives, but barely functional. Milk spews, other items drip….
Two morning custards. One a flan the other was described to me as baked who cream. Had the consistency of a very firm pie filling.
Trastevere area, medieval left bank area. Santa maria in trastevera, oldest church in Rome,337 founded,12th century design. Wonderful mosaics. Also a large number is marble carvings; many more than in the Spanish churches. Fewer puti.
Colosseum and forum area.
After having read a history of Rome, many thanks to Libby, it is good to see the layout of the various hills both extent and destroyed. Much of the area is under construction for a new major line 3 metro line.
Another visit to Giolotti, the famous gelato place.
Later some tea. I ask the waiter why the bill days "posto" for tea. He says he is sorry but the register only has posto for all items and then laughs knowingly. Ah,Italy.
Picnic dinner.
