176. Winter Road Trip Rome #2

Kimberly's Italy

In this episode, join us as we dive into our recent adventure in Rome. From ancient pathways to culinary delights, we explored the city with curiosity and appreciation for its rich history and vibrant culture.

Highlights from Our Rome Trip:

• The Pantheon Experience: Visiting the Pantheon was a remarkable highlight. Now requiring an entrance fee to manage crowds, the process was smooth with pre-purchased tickets and audio guides providing insightful historical narratives. We appreciated the serene atmosphere and the awe-inspiring architectural beauty of this ancient temple.
• Stroll Along the Tiber River: Our exploration continued with a leisurely walk along the Tiber River to Ponte Fabricio, a bridge that has stood in place since 62 BC!
• Discovering Trastevere: In Trastevere, we immersed ourselves in the authentic local vibe. The Basilica Santa Maria captivated us with its intricate features and stunning artwork.
• Lunch at d’Enzo: Our meal at d’Enzo in Trastevere was perfetto! We observed a couple more focused on photographing their food than savoring it, a stark contrast to our own appreciation for the culinary delights before us.
• Vespa Tour of Rome: A three-hour Vespa tour allowed us to cover significant ground, visiting iconic sites like Circus Maximus. We marveled at the ingenuity of Roman engineering and the stories these ancient structures tell.
• Evening Wrap-Up: Our day concluded with an aperitivo and a delightful dinner at a family-run restaurant. We enjoyed a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, which perfectly rounded off our day of exploration.

Stay tuned for more stories about our time in Rome, including Tomasso’s Carbonara marathon. We look forward to sharing more insights and reflections in upcoming episodes.
