Scenes from a mid-day walk to the Pantheon, with stops in the Jewish Ghetto, Campi di Fiori, and Isola Tebirina. And, yes, that is the beaver-sized rat, the so-called Italian Capybara, that we saw swimming in the Tiber.

Flavio Al Velavevodetto. At the recommendation of Conde Naste, enjoyed our first real meal in Rome. Rigatoni alla matriciana, cotolette d’abbacchio panate e fritte con contorno (rabbit), and broccoletti di rape ripassate in padella. Delicious traditional Roman cuisine. Great value at 40€ (including wine, bread and service). Lovely Italian waitress who spoke excellent English. All Italians.
