Never wear rubber soles in Rome as it is paved in little pavers made out of some black slate like stone. My little red boots are serving me well and my rubber-soled shoes risk a twisted ankle. One of the pictures is of a workman cutting and setting these stones. I thought perhaps stones were from some ancient age, and I should have known that most of the ruins I’ve seen have been some 7 feet under the main streets of today.
Another picture is taken from the window of my apartment, dryers are not used and I like seeing the normalcy of everyday life. Everything holds my interest, even the basement of the grocery store is filled with archways and I can’t help but wonder what these cellars were originally.
The other picture is of lady that gave me the pizza recipe, since my Italian is so non-existent, I have found that a thumbs up works very well. She gave me some free bread as I left, which I just finished with a nice glass of wine. The address of “Da Bruno” is Corsco Vittorio Emanuelle, 273 a Roma. Tomorrow I try the sandwiches.
Pictures are being difficult. Tomorrow.
