BeauTiFuL SunDay in the CenTRe?

Yesterday in the morning, even it was Sunday, I moved out for a meeting at Casa del Jazz. Yes, this week I was lucky, I came before time and the hall was already full but I cought the last seat (as I came alone :D ) and in the 3dr row!!! It was really pleasant session... I have found a new face of Luoise Armstrong .

"I don't care what the weatherman says... when the weatherman says it's raining"

The way to Casa del Jazz, just beside Parco degli Scipioni and Terme di Caracalla.

And if fact I did not care and it was as beautiful and sunny Roman day as you can ever imagine. After "something for the ears" I wanted to please my eyes as well, so I took a tour to the city center...I can never be bored with this city, it is so amazing, each street is breathtaking, I mean really every street... when the sun is shining it looks like paradise... when you take a tour in the bus around the Colosseum and then you're passing through all those sweet narrow streets, to find Santa Maria Maggiore... It is so amazing. I jump out of the bus and went to visit it to then take a walk in those tiny tiny sunny streets with all those little balconies with blooming plants and laundry. I mean- how can one not fall in love with this city? How???


At lunch time... Yes, what do you do at lunch time when you are in Rome? You go to the fancy restaurant...? Nooou... You take piece of pizza rustica and pick any ancient stone to sit and enjoy your meal! I promise you, no charming Italian waiter will make that impression on you as Area Sacra Agrentina for example... :)

Finally I decided to visit the center of the center to see how the Carnival is doing... I took subway to Piazza del Popolo and... yes-on Sunday and obviously it was crowded but this time it was magic tightness of the Sunday Carnival afternoon...

No, it isn't snow... it is SUN & CONFETTI :D

Fortunately it has nothing to do with the "traditional" Roman Carnival, unfortunately it is not as splendid as the one in Venice, but it has many attractions for kids and that has a special charm I have to admit... and about that in the next post :)
