Yesterday, we woke up to another grand breakfast and learned that hot dogs are considered a breakfast food in Italy. After breakfast, we headed out toward Vatican City where we wandered around as much as we could before finding gelato. As always, the gelato was delicious and reenergized us to continue walking. A little later, we found a cute Italian restaurant for lunch where we each ordered pasta dishes, both of which were amazing.
After lunch, we took a hike up Aventine Hill to find the “secret keyhole” that lines up perfectly for a view of St Peters Basilica. We made it to the top and the view was definitely worth it. After enjoying the view for a little while, we were ready to head back down. Stephanie found a lime scooter which she was very excited to try out while Isabel walked.
When we got the bottom, we realized that we had ended up in the Jewish Quarter and were looking up at the Synagogue. We spent awhile wandering through the neighborhood and looking at some of the shops before heading back to the hostel for a short rest.
After resting, catching up on some emails, and getting more organized for Naples and Florence, we headed out to find some pizza for dinner. We found a cute shop close by where we could get carry out and brought our pizza back to the room to enjoy with a bottle of local wine we had picked up the day before. Everything was delicious and the wine paired perfectly with the pizza. After dinner, we went for a short walk around the neighborhood before heading back to the room to get packed for the next leg and ready for bed.
