Walk Around the Forum

Good evening!
The place we are staying at is like a little monastery. Very clean and very plain. It's run by Sister Christina,a pleasant,no nonsense individual.
It's 8:10 pm here in Rome. I can't believe that as I sit here typing out a few thoughts, I am actually in this fascinating city once again. Although both of us were so tired after the long journey to get here, we still tried to make the best of the day before we crash tonight.
So, we went to the Forum, and on our way, we passed a fabulous market called Mercato di Campagna Amica, which is one of the things that makes this part of the world so great. There were all kinds of cheeses, wines, breads, pastries, meat and gigantic bags of salad greens that you could just buy by weight to bring home for supper. And of course, the ubiquitous fresh cut flowers...They even had a wine bar right in this market. Then we wandered down to the Roman Forum and spent some time in an amazing historical area. We left there and found a cute little cafe on the sidewalk, where we ordered fresh pasta, pizza and salad. While we were there, the Carabinieri (Italian police) roared up on their BMW motor bikes to stop for supper.
Tomorrow we plan to see a few areas such as Piazza Navona and Campo D' Fiori. Then there is also the old Jewish Quarter and a walk by the river Tiber. So much to take in...
