| Rome Beautiful, unruly, dirty, ancient, historic, modern... |
 |
| Beauty is all over -- looking up, looking down, on walls, ceilings....so much art inspiration. The Romans have been doing this for a really long time. Lucky for us. |
 |
| What I wouldn't give for these milagros. But these are in a church and not for sale. |
 |
| Lemoncello Now this you can buy! Or make. I have my big batch of lemencello started and it will be ready soon. I'm part Italian so it's in the blood... |
 |
| Still life with artichokes We have loads of artichokes here in California but they don't look like Roman ones. |
 |
| Dressing for the flea market looks a little different in Rome....I covet that skirt! |
 |
| Si -- we may need a gelato. |
 |
| This one is a little out of control.... |
 |
| I think you can guess what is sold inside this cool looking shop... |
 |
| yep....the selection of sausages and cured meats and pancetta and prosciutto is incredible. Free samples too. |
 |
| And the dolce........mamma mia....... We had cakes and cookies and canolli every day. But we walked it all off. Ok, ragazzas and rigazzos.......that's a wrap for Roma. I'm home in SF and I can still remember every wonderful minute. I have been making lots of things. I'll have paper to show you next time.

I was in Rome in May... Your pictures bring me ggod memories!
ReplyDeleteJust missed you -- I was they till May 1.....isn't it wonderful? Did you go to the flea market too?
DeleteI realise now that I was there from 22 to 29 April (last time was in May). Maybe we crossed paths!
DeleteI didn't visited the flea market. I was too busy drinking coffee and enjoying fountains ;-)
What incredibly wonderful photos. You certainly captured the essence of Rome. I was really surprised by the Milagros, since I associate them with Mexico, which is a LONG way from Rome. Truly gorgeous photos, dear Pamela. Great looking food and drink, too.
ReplyDeleteI think they are called ex-votivos in Italy.....but yes, they are very similar. Very glad you enjoyed and thanks for commenting.
DeleteThanks for sharing your trip with us!
ReplyDeleteThank you for looking -- and commenting!
DeleteWhat a fabulous trip!
ReplyDeletePamela, what is the purpose or the idea of the Milagros encased like that in the church? Do each represent something or someone? I would just love to feel them,to say I did! :)
Those shops!! I could spend forever in them! The smells and tastes must have been mind blowing! Can you tell I am all about the senses? heehee And the greenery and flowers on that one?! Bella!!
What is Lemoncello? I am not familiar...
Now those desserts I am familiar with a few! Oh my yumminess!!
Wow i am stuffed from the post with all of the goodness your trip had to offer! (in case there is more,I could squeeze in another read-lol)
Again, thank you for sharing and yes! that skirt!! I have the shoes and tights, I'm ready!
