Day 11 Rome

Today is short. I went to my most favorite place in the world. The Villa Borgese Gallery and gardensee.  This gallery is the best I ever been in. It never disappoints me, I am always surprised and refreshed when I come.

I was never allowed to take photos before and had to sneak them before the guard came up saying "no photos".
this time I was allowed to take as many as I liked so I have hundreds.

And as I stayed till last I even had me time alone with my favorite sculptures and slipped in a little bit of yoga. That took guts! I put the camera on timer an a chair. Just once I asked a Chinese couple to take one for me with my favorite painting. I didnt think they would mind because Chinese people love to tare photos.

I had lunch in the gardens then slept the rest of the afternoon.
In the night I went with my friend Anna to her work at a hotel, she was waiting for a family to check in. We ordered pizza on the way and they brought it up for us.

On the way home we went through Piazza Navona, home of the fountain of the four rivers. It is unbelievable that in all my visits here I have not been there before. I feel better now that I have. It is the picture on my favorite place mat at the studio.

We called in for a gelato at a shop with 100 flavors and walked all the way back to the hostel and bed.
