Day 35 - San Giovanni di Dio


Nothing in Rome makes me happier than the sight and smell of open air markets. Here's my personal smellseeing hitlist of the day:
-Bright blood oranges stacked like christmas ornaments.
-The logarithmic symmetry of Romano 'spaceship' cabbages.
-Pools of black/purple/green/pitted/fresh/stuffed/spiced olives.
-Tanks and tanks and tanks of wholesale wine (at 1.30euro/liter!)
-Gargantuan meat knives (watch them glide through calf bones!)
-Staring at old Italians staring back at you.
