We did our time in line at the Bocca della Verita! It's one of those quintessential Rome things I've never seen before. It's right by the Circus Maximus, actually, so I am surprised I never managed to make it before!
After we walked the banks of the Tiber up to the Ponte Sant'Angelo.
We sat on the bridge, people watching. We saw some fun street musicians. These two did Pink Floyd.
And this guy was super adorable. He just noodled riffs on his guitar.
Besides seeing huge flocks of sparrows, we also saw flocks of brides. Apparently the Ponte Sant'Angelo is a wedding photo hot spot. Some of them had whole flocks of photographers.
I have to admit, I was not sold on all the dresses that I saw. Italian brides seem to go for roughly traditional silhouettes, but not quite as traditional on the fabrics and details. This bride was pretty much traditional modern, but we saw a few brides with some color in their dresses. I liked one girl's dress with soft green highlights and shawl, but one woman had a multi-pastel tulle ruffle skirt that I couldn't quite take.
We passed by the art light show at Ara Pacis on our way home...
We had a late night Venchi gelato near the hotel before we headed up to our room!
