Rome day 2


After yesterdays long walk we were hesitant to do too much today and decided to head to the Pantheon and shop in the airconditioning as we went. Joel bought a hat and a jacket and we past the Trevi fountain again .We stayed in the cool alleys and didnt get so hot. We then managed to walk to the Mamertine Prison where Paul and Peter were held before they were killed .It was interesting to see the dark, damp, small space and know that Paul and Peter were also in this same room so many years before.We got gelati and walked home ducking into many shops as we went but not buying anything except lunch at the supermarket. We are buying lots of figs and cherries for our lunches as they are in season and delicious also grissini ,small bread sticks are a favourite.Again we retreated to the hotel for the afternoon and went out for tea. In the evening we watched the soccer, Uraguay vs Germany.
