I have chosen another subway ride to another new area of the city where there is a plaza that I haven't seen and a street which runs from it that is the main shopping street for the home folk.
My day went pretty much as planned. I found the plaza and shopped, going into every door and saw many very cool and new things. I'll say one thing for these Italians: they are well dressed. Many of them were on the streets today and I, for sure, do not belong. I managed to find a few replacements for the clothes that we always have to ditch because they don't hold up to the constant hand washing and ringing that we give them every second day.
On this unique street I found 6 new churches or basilicas and ended up walking about 4 kms right to another plaza where a special water fountain is. The saying is that if you touch the water, it's supposed to be that you will return back to Rome.
After much more walking, I headed back on the subway and went into an industrial flea market to purchase the food goods for the next two days.
By the time I got back to the hotel and put everything away, G knocked on the door and so we gathered up our things to head to the outdoor patio for supper and share our day's adventures.
Seems mine were more exciting than his but he did manage to gather more info on the Forums and coliseum and he did mail one letter home from the Vatican and manage to walk an entire city in one hour. (That's the Vatican City) :)
Tomorrow G is supposed to be going on the catacombs tour but there might not be enough people to go, so we will head out and go together if need be. Otherwise, if he is on that, I think I will spend the morning swimming in the hotel pool and then leave the afternoon for something that we haven't done yet.
