We all slept in. Which was totally needed. Then our family got ready and went to the Rome zoo. Mom & Dad did not go. Why? you ask. Of course the zoo in Rome is on everyone’s top 3 must-see sights. Or not. But it was on Marty’s list, so off we went. It was a long walk up a hill, but we finally made it. There was hardly anyone at the zoo, but it was sunny and about 55 degrees, so it was a pleasant day.
We were amused by the guinea pig exhibit.
This goat was sleeping on the food rack.
The macaques amused us with several fights.
Enrichment for the vultures. (They have a carcasse)
Charlie chilling with the lion.
Warm in the reptile house
There were no concessions open in the zoo, so we were starving when we got out at 2. Luckily, there was a snack shop right outside the zoo where we wolfed down sandwhiches. Then we walked the long way back down the hill and decided to stop at Santa Maria dei Populo. It was right next to the metro. Look up the story about this church. It has 2 Carravagio’s—Marty took a picture of the conversion of Saul.
Piazza Populo
The big key to our apartment. I thought it was very interesting.
