Rome continued..

The street musicians in all the cities have brought pleasure. The accordion players in Rome were talented. I heard a saxophonist with a tone that resembled an Italian ambulance, wow! What he did have going for him was his endless supply of folk melodies.

Our guide for this last portion of the trip has so far led us to great places. He recommended a certain area of Rome to eat, away from more expensive, tourist restaurants. We were sent to an area referred to as Travesteria. Sure enough, myself and the couple of guys I was with stumbled upon a trattoria that was clearly a local's place hidden down a small cobblesone side street. One large Peroni and hearty serving of rigatoni and I was in heaven! Thank you Roma..
