Walkin' the Walk and Talkin' the Talk

Last Saturday our friends, Mirella and Roberto, took us to a nearby restaurant run by a
bunch of nuns.

Too bad I forgot to take photos inside. But, afterward as we strolled home, The Man took
several short videos of our walk. I pieced them together into one movie and you can watch
it HERE.

The sun was shining, so ALL the Romans were outside. It's also the end of Carnival, another
reason to be out and about and why you'll notice a few people dressed in costumes.

The walk takes us through Piazza Navona, to Angelo's old coffee bar, Campo Dei Fiori, and
finally to a demonstration that occurred in Piazza Farnese, one of my favorite piazzas in Rome.
Oh, and the demonstration was for the Right To Die issue that's being fought here against the
Pope. Another reason why it was so crowded that day.

This video captures pretty much what we do here a lot; that is, meander around talking, trying
to understand exactly what is going on amid all the chaos (me), and enjoying it all (The Man).

Ciao.
