Rome Day 3

This day we visited the Borghese Gallery, a fantastic museum with lots of sculpture and paintings, many by Bernini (The Rape of Persephone, Apollo and Daphne, Napoleon's sister). Even the kids marveled at his uncanny ability to make stone look supple. But alas, cameras not permitted - we had to check at the door, so there are no pictures of all the great art we saw.

Here's some others - the market around the corner Ric shopped each morning for breakfast (bread, cheese, meat, fruit) and for our picnic lunches later in the day (more bread, more cheese, more meat and eggs).


Here's the fish guy. Ready to lop off a couple salmon steaks; just point, grunt, hold up two fingers, and then say "Grazi."

A park we played at before hitting the museum.

And my very own sculpture statues:

"Girly"

"Joyous"

"Studly"

And Alex and Evelyn play in the wind from the underground metro at the end of the day.
