You never know what you will find when you travel to a foreign city. We expected many unusual sights and customs... but to see the capuccian monks - 4,000 of them! - in all their skeletal remains was quite a sight to see! We went to their crypt in the Santa Maria della-something along the Via Venuto and couldn't believe the way they were stacked, arranged, displayed, mummified, and put around as artwork for all to see. it was quite amazing. So was the Via Venuto and the many beautiful buildings, marble statues, fountains, and people people people everywhere. Rick and I have walked miles around this beautiful city and still haven't seen a minute part of it.. but we are having a wonderful time together.
We dined at the original Cafe Alfredo's last night - the creator of fettucine alfredo - and guess what we ate for dinner? yup mangia mangia on the BEST fettucine alfredo we ever had...plus...we were serenaded by two old paisanos playing guitar and accordian and "welcome to my world". oh my! We are in Roma romantica...happy and blessed trails.
