So today we got a rather late start, but still got to see some really interesting stuff. The first thing we did was to hope on the metro for the Pantheon. The Pantheon is one of my favorite structures in Rome, even though it has a whole in the ceiling. Surprisingly, we got a free tour. One man who overheard us talking deemed us to be more intelligent than the average tourist and took It upon himself to clarify the history of both the pantheon and Italy during World War II. The church was once a temple to the Gods, not all the Gods, but the Gods of the different planets. However today, it is a church with the tombs of the first two kings of Italy along with Raphael d’ Sanzio.
After the Pantheon we found lunch at this rather interesting French Restaurant (L’Lau Vive Via Monterone 85). The restaurant was run by French missionaries and there were a bunch of nuns jabbing away at the table behind us. The roast beef was excellent and it was a very different experience. Once we had finished, we trekked over to take some pictures by the Trevy fountain where it began to pour on us. Thankfully, it let up before dinner!
