I crossed the Tiber twice today

How do you spelle obelisk in italieenglayseiano ?






Anyway, that was just a " for interest" foto.

New experienco day today.

Today I was invited to be a judge in the best "sun dried tomatoes at Campo dei Fiore" event.
The romans thought I was the barman from cafe pellegrino in melbourne.

The scores were on a uno to deici numero system with deici bring the most Bella.
The criteria was favourio, color, aroma and I could have my own special x factor thing which carried double points. My special category was " Tomatoiness".


Bottom left won.
The "producer" had the best legs. She was a professional tomatodryertress.

We had panini with tomato tressing and Pinot Brigid for lunch. Well I did, Siena had a organic gelato, fragola e cocco e vaniglia.

Then off we went to get the ruins sorted out.

First stop the sacred site the patron saint of sailors at the piazzale de torre de argentinas on the viale plebiscito. Is nice place.


The temple of the Lari Permarina ( she the patron di sailors) was dug up by a gardener in 1926. He was planting a pinus sylvestris as part of an opening ceremony for a cheese show. He was called Marco di shoviola.

The temple ruins remains is now preserverioed for ever and fenced off from everyone even sailors. Only stray cats go there and lie around on the marbles.
It Is section D in following plan.





they have a archealogistico canoe there just like the one fossilized in the bar beach merimbula steps. Just below the kiosk over looking the half bars on the beach. I discover the bar beach ones a few years ago.....

 

Talk the new experienco! You ever try to buy the front room pants in the Roma ?

I see this shops windows and says to myself I need a new pair of classic slips.



So I look up down the street to see who see me go in. Aall clear so, in I go.

I say the lady in the shop ( thank goodness not a man with the prince mustachio) I like a nice pair the slip in the tricolor di italia payr fa-VO-ray.

She just start to laugh and she say you must be crazy! You can't just buy off the rack, man like you. You must get the measuring done.... I say " you know a girl called the seamstress of Firenze ? "

She say nothing but give me that " I know you know I know "look that can be so so dangerous, especialisto when you in the slip shop with the pantaloons on the floor and the tape measure handy close.

 

I pretend my phone ringing and run out the other door and straight into this shop

 



I look around for few minutes so as to not appear unworldly but didn't try anything on...Promise.

The next flight of stairs ( did i mention Roma is all stairs and ruins and fantasiconess ) to the piazza del campidoglio and around the back way to dodgeio the queiosios to the asscensionio panorramicio for the views to the the everywhere.

First the horsey



Then the colosseo

 

More is more with the colosseo

 

Then the foro Roma from the sky look.





then the old fish market

 

 

then the wonders of the wonderful columns of Roma

 

Then back across the Tiber to look at my blue sky through the branches of the trees of the Trastevere

I love Roma. Is bellissimo.


 

I know how to spell arborio in italianoeenglaysio.
