We had another busy day as we moved from Rome to Florence. We went out to a wine bar last night and consumed our always classy and affordable option, the house white wine. After staying out late, we still heeded our early wake up call and headed for the Collosseum (round 2) this morning. After walking around the Collosseum, we went to the Jewish Ghetto.
While in the Jewish Ghetto, we had our best meal yet. Our lunch place, Sora Margherita, was located in an unmarked building at the end of the alleyway. After making our way through the crepe paper adornments, we were greeted by a bustling restaurant of squished Italians. We were seated next to an Irish couple as the restaurant was too full for us to have our own table. The waitress brought us the restaurant favorites: fried artichoke, gnocchi, and a fried zucchini and cheese delight. It was really authentic. Turns out, we really like Roman Jewish cooking (although our arteries might not)!
We just wandered through Rome for the rest of the afternoon. We made it to Florence tonight and settled into our hostel. We had more Italian food (and house wine) for dinner followed by our best gelato yet. Delicious!
Thats about all! Everyone is safe despite a few minor mishaps with some oversized backpacks. Everything is great here and it still seems surreal to be surrounded by all of this history. We might never come back! Ciao!
