Day Three: Quiet Time Exploration, Food Tour In Trastevere, Bone Church.

Left the house sometime before dawn and didn't return until after 11 P.M. Coming from Chicago Rome is a comparatively small city. Small enough that you can walk everywhere if you really want to but big enough that the blisters on your feet will make you regret your decision later. Also, no matter how broken in you think those super fancy Frye boots are, they will give you blisters on the bottom of your feet. Thats a promise. This set of photos are my favorite outside of the ones I took in Matera, which are still to come. If I have any advice for some one traveling to Rome, see the sites before the crowds wake up. A feast for your eyes only will be waiting.

This is a photo I added just for perspective. Through this tiny key hole in a random door at the garden of the Knights of Malta the St Peters Basilica is perfectly framed...

…as seen here.

Really delicious bakery that uses zero animal fat (no butter!)

Custom made oven. This bad boy was over 50 ft long
