Off the Beaten Path



Today, the group from JMW Arts and our tour guide traveled to Florence, leaving us with a free day in Rome. Most of the touristy sites in Rome are closed on Mondays, so we were really left to our own devices.

We took a chance on the Borghese Gardens. Neither our tour guide nor our gudebook could tell us much. But we intrepidly picked up sandwiches and bottles of water and marched into the park.

We had a blast. We ate our picnic on a log. We rented and raced 4-person rickshaws. We visited the zoo.

Afterwards we stepped into a cafe for antipasti. Briantey had her first cappuccino. When she said she was going to name her children, "Pied," and, "Aterre," we cut her off.
