We spent a good part of Saturday wandering and shopping on our own or in pairs. Laura wanted to go back and poke into the antique stores we had gone past the day before so we headed out. We found a few small items and one gorgeous statue but passed on them all. I continued on down through the Piazza Navona and on to the Piazza Campo dei Fiori by myself. Navona was crazy with people and there was a market going on in Campo. We met up later for lunch and then taxied on down to the Colosseum at sunset. It was a great day of just wandering the city.
At $180,000 we decided we could probably live without it. Sure would look good out by the pool in the courtyard.
A pic for the old door fans out there.
Piazza Navona was very crowded with Romans out enjoying the fine weather and the carnival like atmosphere.
Complete with newly weds.
Maybe soon to be newly weds???
Fresh flowers on the north end of Campo Dei Fiori.
Are these bananas fresh?? They better be or she will want a refund next week.
Lining them up.

Pick a hat, any hat.
The peppers were framed.
I couldn’t help but wonder how many times this quiet little lady has walked through the piazza.
Lunch? Pizza in the piazza.

Cute hat!
The Romans were out in force at the Spanish Steps.
Hi Dad!
Put the tree over there near the Coliseum!
