It was a perfect day to wander the cobblestone streets. The weather was perfect. We were excited to have our friend Wendy (former SFO flight attendant) explore Rome with us.

Trastevere

Our first destination was to the Trastevere, a neighborhood located across the Tiber River. Trastevere is famous for its bohemian atmosphere, restaurants and wine bars, boutiques and craft shops. It has beautiful cobblestone streets lined with Roman architecture.

Trastevere was a fun neighborhood to explore. We enjoyed a yummy Roman charcuterie plate at a restaurant in the heart of Trastevere.

After our nourishment, we had some energy to do some shopping.

We relished our time wandering the cobblestone streets of Trastevere. We headed back over the river to get lost in the vibrant, timeless streets in the heart of Rome.

No matter how many time we walk these streets, Rome’s beauty still takes our breaths away.

We enjoyed a pre-dinner cocktail, at one of our favorite local Birrerias.

We ate dinner at a restaurant that a flight attendant had recommended. I would like to mention a few interesting facts about dining in Italy. Italy’s waiters will not hover or ask you how you are doing. Meals in Italian restaurants are considered a way to pamper yourself. There is no rushing. Buon Appetito!

Our trip to Rome is never complete until we end our visit with a delicious gelato.

SALUTE!
