I’m posing so that you see the resemblance to my cousin…

…who lives in the Largo Argentina, which is a cat refuge near where we stay.

Oui, oui, it’s true I was/am a French kitty, but I did travel often to Rome with mama and papa  several times and so I do have memories of my visit and now can see all the lovliness whenever I wish…hence, these little tours of sweet moments in Rome.

The open market at campo dei fiori is one of our favorite places and although now it has changed into much more of a tourist market.

It used to be all vegetables and hat-sellers and a guy who shredded vegetables with a must-have tool for any cook and aprons that were a bit x-rated, and…uh…unpublishable, haha.

Here are pics of the campo dei fiori ,and also one of the lovely interior of Santa Maria sopra Minerva, the Gothic church that sits upon an ancient temple dedicated to Isis, as yet not dug up because, well, the church sits on top of it, haha.

Hey, it’s somewhere down there….

The bounty of spring, tomato sauce coming up, right, mama?

Mama loved this bicycle displaying veggies.

A gladiator apron with wine in its pocket and an x-rated one above off-camera! These aprons are hilarious.

The lovely church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva.

Gladiators who wander around getting their pictures taken with tourists, haha. Mama says they are really nice but I saw them as sometimes a bit bored with all the tourists…

Donc, that’s enough for today. More little scenes of life on the streets of Rome will pop up here now and then after I’ve done a overview of my our lovely city.

Just threw this one in – the ancient stock exchange…
