Three letters describe today
OMG
Oh my god what a fabulous gallery visit to the Borghese. I love Bernini's David as well as the other statues he did that are located here. For me this gallery rivals the Louvre and the gallery in Florence (forgot the name but it contains Michelangelos David). When we finished our two hour tour (that is all the time they give you) ,both of us were amazed at all the magnificent statues and paintings.Wow
Before the Borghese we bicycled the nearby park so Caro could get her bike riding fix.
After our tour we walked to the edge of the old city at Piazza del Popolo and began a long walk back through the city streets doing people watching, enjoying the magnificent buildings and sites, stopping in every church that was open for visits.
I forgot that the first thing we did this morning was visit the old Roman baths of Diocletian which are now part of a nearby church and potentially part of where our B+ B is. Cool to think about
We ate an early supper near the Piazza Navona (photo below) before walking back ( just head north at Trajans column!)
Presently planning tomorrow and trying to connect with Dad via email
Caro is being very friendly with that lion.
