One of the items in our continental breakfast is a large, light bread roll. Light, because it is completely hollow. It is all crust. How do they do that?
Today we opted to walk toward Trastevere, said to be one of the funkier areas of Rome, to continue our inventory of the major churches of the city. Actually, we have seen no minor churches – they are all major.
On the way we ran across the cat sancuary. The local version of the SPCA runs a catch and neuter program for stray cats, as well as giving them food, shelter, and the run of a large set of ruins. They look pretty contented, if you don’t bother them too much.
And Vic found a huge fabric store. Delight!
Trastevere doesn’t look much different than the rest of Rome that we have seen, but the food is cheaper. Compare 15€ pasta here to a four course meal for 10€. And the 9€ glass of wine is becomes 8€ a litre. Not the same wine perhaps, but still!
We went on a long search in our neighbourhood for a place that sold an orange, with finally success. Where do the locals get their food?
