So now for today's journey. My bus skills are improving. I love travelling this way once I figure it out. It's like a puzzle. So I ride Metro A to Metro B to Piramide. Then I take the bus round trip which goes on the appian way. I love imagining all of the people who have traveled here for hundreds of years. Half way along the way, the driver hoped off and took about a 10 minute break. It just seemed funny to me.
Believe it or not I had difficulty seeing the Pyramide, really. It is being repaired and cleaned and surrounded by scaffolding. Not what I was looking for. Expectations! Next discovery is the Protestant/NonCatolic Cemetary where Shelley and Keats are buried. Of course I walked almost around the entire cemetary before finding the enterance. This cemetary is so lovely and a real treat to find.
I returned to Santo Stefano Rotundo-another favorite site. The lighting (day light) has a beautiful affect on the inside. Here too reapairs and cleaning were taking place. I took a peak at this cute little boat stature in front of the Georrifica Societa.
Trinita del Monti Church is at the top of the Spanish Steps. Since I have never visited this, I travelled on my favorite little bus 117 to see this. It was very nice.
I returned to the cafe where I had the tiramisu to inquire about my charge. The owner said the tiramisu was 7E no matter if I ate it at the bar or the table. Ridiculous. Next time I will get the price before I take a bite.
Today was Pope Benedict's last audience and last papal appearance. The media coverage for this event was a lot more than that of Sunday's sermon. It also looked like alot more people attended the event.
Tomorrow is my BIG spontaneous adventure.
