We drove outside the city and stopped at some little villages and was able to see some beautiful views. We got the chance to see a couple little wine cellars that were built under volcano caves.
Next we went a Place called Pagnanelli for lunch. It has been family owned since 1882. The food was amazing and the family at the resturant was great. They have 32,000 bottle of wine underneath the restaurant in a cellar that the family had hand chiseled(literally) and cost them 4 million to complete the project. After lunch they served us grapp- which is a traditional Roman After dinner drink (pretty much straight alcohol) and then some lemon chello.
For the last stop Francesco took us to a coffee place in rome that he said was "an absolute must" even if u dont love coffee! So we went to Sant' Eustachio-which is located by the Pantheon. I must say i am not a coffee drinker- but the capachinno was awesome!
Later that evening the Bachman's and Carter stayed behind and Jim, Sandy, Kenny and I all decided to go see the Pantheon and grab a drink and some pizza. My favorite part of Rome so far is how nice the weather is at about 8-9 at night. It almost gets warmer outside! We made it to the Pantheon and ended up eating outside at a little place across from it. There was plenty of people outside playing music and talking- was a great time!
Tommorow we have another trip with Francesco and then we leave for Florence on Saturday AM.
Have a good evening!
