Villa Pamphili - A Slice of Italian Paradise

I spent today - a beautiful Sunday, not a cloud in the sky - strolling around Villa Pamphili with Simonetta, the amazing lady I am renting a room from. We packed a picnic of insalata, pane, fragole (fresh from her country estate), ricotta forno, e vino bianco. Of course, the only way to have a proper picnic in Roma is with wine! We walked about 4km, stopped and ate our delicious lunch, then walked a little further to a little coffee shop in the middle of the park to have un caffe. After walking a little bit more we decided to find a nice piece of grass to lay down on and take a quick nap. Refreshed and ready to walk 4km more we headed back down to Trastevere.

Today was a relaxing, much needed break from the fast paced, tourist crowded streets.
