Today's mission was to explore the Trastevere region of Rome. Trastevere is literally across the Tiber and is considered one of the places you can see medieval Rome (Rome has many layers-ancient, medieval, renaissance, modern).
We walked (in some considerable rain) to the main train station (Termini) and took the H bus. We wanted to go to the Janiculum Hill (fans of Pines of Rome will understand) and were guessing at the stop--we guessed wrong and ended up somewhere outside the region of our map. We got on a different bus and guessed (wrong) again. Third time was a charm and we ended up at a church with a lovely view (San_Pietro_in_Montorio), although the best one is at Garibaldi plaza (we found it by accident 24 years ago). We walked down the hill toward St. Maria in Trastevere
This was well worth our bus adventure. As a side note, in order to facilitate our bus hopping, we bought a giornaliero for 4 euro at a tobacconist shop (you can buy them there or at news stands)/

I thought I formatted links for here but they're not showing up. . .
ReplyDeleteI re-formatted but am trying to get as clickable links.
ReplyDeleteLove the video clip in St. Maria! Your links were workable with a little tweaking; not a problem. If you get pics of St. Cecelia, I would love to see them!
