Our Honeymoon In Italy

1st stop: Roma, Italia. SPQR 😃

This is our picture at the airport before flying out on our adventure:


On this trip, we used a combination of hotels and AirBnBs. We had a wonderful AirBnB in the Trastevere section of Roma. Trastevere means "beyond the Tiber". It is a very cool neighborhood/section. After getting into our AirBnB, we walked to Piazza del Popolo and passed 7 bridges. We also had our first taste of authentic Italian gelato. Yes, Italian gelato makes ice cream pale in comparison.  
Meeting family and friends at night in the piazza is a very common in Italy. With Piazza Trilussa in Trastevere, we enjoyed going to the piazza at night to join in on the fun. Here are some photos of Piazza Trilussa at night:




Here is the view we had when we were walking back to our AirBnB:

Roma Part II

The vacation has been a dream. When we arrived back in Rome, we ate dinner at the Mercato Centrale in Rome. Trappazino, pizza, and gelato was the perfect meal to end our trip. We do recommend this mercato over the Mercato Centrale in Florence. The hotel we stayed in for our last night on vacation was nice. Because they were aware it was our honeymoon, the hotel gave us two free drinks at the bar. We did have one last Italian breakfast of a cappuccino and cornetto at the airport (I, Gary, splurged and had 2 cornetti.) Ciao, Italy! A doppo! We will return!

From the private patio of our beautiful hotel suite, Gary took a picture of the sunrise behind the Duomo: We visited the Palazzo Vecchio located in the Piazza della Signoria: Here's a view into the majestic Hall of 500: The two pictures below are reproductions of the (alleged) death mask of Dante Alighieri:   The bust below is of Niccolo Machiavelli. Not a very imposing looking figure, but historically he was a force to be reckoned with. In the Mercato Nuovo near the Ponte Vecchio, there is a statue of a pig. There's a tradition that you are to rub the pig's nose for good luck. Gary obliged and let the pig wear his hat for extra good luck: We also visited Basilica de Santa Maria Novello: Just in case, that is not an actual dead person seen in the picture below: You can not visit too many churches in Italy. Later that afternoon, we visited Basilica de S...
