Rome - Day 3

I think our bodies really just want some rest on this vacation as we had a hard time getting up in time for breakfast today. We walked over to the Borghese Gallery, but it was already sold out. Fortunately we were able to see the beautiful Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri on our way. We walked around and had some beautiful views of Rome before stumbling upon Piazza del Popolo. There we entered the Museo di Leonardo, saw a beautiful obelisk, and observed three churches.

We got hungry, so we stopped for lunch then headed back home for an afternoon nap. Following, we headed out to see San Pietro in Vincoli, where there is a famous statue of Moses. We tried to visit a couple other churches, but they were closed, so we decided to trek across town to try a recommended restaurant from one of our friends.. It was also closed, but we ended up at a wonderful little restaurant where we had fantastic food and got to spend time talking with the owner, Sal. We hopped on a crowded bus back home, stopped for a quick drink by our place and are going to turn in tonight at a decent hour. 

Ciao.
