Our backpacking trip: Dia 131 / Day 131

Estuvimos conociendo varias plazas y sitios de interes historico en Roma. La primera parada fue la Plaza del Popolo, luego fuimos en la Plaza España. Despues fuimos a la Fuente de Trevi, donde la leyenda dice que construyeron las 3 fuentes donde reboto la cabeza del apostol Pablo cuando lo decapitaron, esto es dificil de creer porque las fuentes estan como a 6 metros una de la otra…

En la tarde visitamos el Pantheon – Basilica de Santa Maria y Martires. Despues fuimos a la Plaza Navona donde hay muchos artistas pintando y vendiendo sus cuadros. Tambien hay una fuente grandisima. Luego estuvimos en el Museo y Galeria Borghese. Tambien estuvimos en la Plaza Venecia, visitamos la Basilica de San Marco y pasamos por otra ruinas romanas donde todavia estan excavando.

En la noche estuvimos comiendo donde Maria, una couch surfer que aunque no nos pudo hospedar nos invito a comer. Maria es una señora adorada, la comida estuvo deliciosa… risotto al fungi (risotto con champiñones), ensalada, pollo relleno con verduras y de postre fue una fruta italiana llamada “caco” y manzana horneada con canela. Todo estaba delicioso!... Gracias Maria por la invitacion

Today we visited several squares and historic sites of Rome. The first stop was the Popolo Square, then we sent to Spain Square. Later we visited Trevi’s Fountain, where the leyend says that the 3 fountains were built where the apostole Paul’s head bounced after he was decapitated; this is difficult to believe because the fountains are like 6 meters apart from eachother…

In the afternoon we visted the Pantheon – Basilica Santa Maria ad Martyres. Later we went to Navona Square where lots of artists are painting and selling their paintings. There is also a big fountain in the middle of the square. We went to Museum and gallery Borghese. We also went to Venice Square, visited San Marco’s Basilica and passed by other roman ruins that are still under excavation.

In the evening we went for dinner to Maria’s place, a couch surfer that could not host us but invited us for dinner. Maria is a very nice lady, dinner was delicious… risotto al fungi (risotto with mashrooms), salad, chicken filled with vegetables and desert was an Italian fruit called “caco” and baked apple with cinnamon. Everything was amazing!... Thanks Maria for the invitation.
