This morning we slept in, bought me a Mkhitartyan jersey at the AS Roma store (even though he signed with Inter Milan last week), and got Big Ds hair cut at http://www.kissmedarlin.it in the Trastevere neighborhood.

For lunch: four pizzas at Da Poeta: pesto mozzarella and tomato for D, spicy salame for me, margarita for Miss M, and buffalo mozzarella for Paul. So good!

The rest of the afternoon we played tourist walking slowly through the city center, visiting the Pantheon and Spanish Steps.

Next time we’ll schedule a Vespa and sidecar tour. Saw some zipping around town and the speed may help you stay cool. Easier on the feet as well; we’ve done a ton of walking.

On our last night we went to see the Sistene Chapel at the Vatican museum. I’ve already been twice, and Paul three times, but it doesn’t get old and the kids don’t remember much from their trip ten years ago. Over the years we’ve spent so much time staring at the chapel ceiling while working on the 1000 piece puzzle of Michaelangelos masterpiece that it was neat to see if in life size form. We spent a good 30 minutes in the chapel, maybe longer. Miss M really enjoyed it and remarked that it would be a good place to study if the Chapel had desks and it was just a little quieter.

We took a quick look at St Peters lit up at night and then headed back to the Campo Dei Fiori area for dinner at Emma, a restaurant the kids and Paul ate at on Wednesday. It was recommended to us by a friend and the food was very good. Thin crust pizzas, zucchini flowed stuffed with mozzarella and Damian’s fourth bowl of spaghetti carbonara so far on the trip.

A relaxing final day of our time in Rome!
