Vacation in Rome

Posted byChristi IfferganPosted inItaly, RomeTags:, , , , ,

After arriving & checking into the hotel, Mom & I were ready for our first meal in Rome.  We walked to a local restaurant & had delicious dinner at Pinsa e Buoi. 

Pictured above, we had a roasted eggplant appetizer, fresh foccacia, two types of pasta: Cacio & Pepe & Carbonara,  along with a fresh cheese plate.

Walking around the local area, we saw lots of local art, architecture & lots of small cars! 

Mom was presemted a red rose by a handsome Italian man, too!

After our dinner & walk back to the hotel, we were ready for a good night’s sleep. The next day was a busy one & I will tell you more about it in the next post!

Hi! I am Christi, a full-time RV traveller since August 2021. I have always loved to travel, but COVID-19 put a stop to that. I was fast approaching 50, my condo was being placed up for sale and I was ready for a major change. Originally from a tiny town in rural Southwest Virginia, I am the mother to one son and a rescue Shih Tzu, Cappy. For the last 20 years, I worked in public library systems around the Charlotte & Myrtle Beach areas. I met some amazing people and made great friends along the way. Follow along on my adventures as I travel the US. I hope that our paths will cross one day!

  2. Looking forward to your future posts in Italy! Having just finished Frances Mayes’ book ‘A Place in the World’, she so well portrays life in Tuscany, and loves Rome! (And I could be your mom, receiving a rose from a handsome Italian man ) 🙂

  4. Brings back memories of our trip to Rome before the pandemic. Ate at a few out of the way non-tourist restaurants recommended by our hotel staff. Great meals! Not sure even my Chevy Malibu would have made it through some of the streets our taxi took us!

  5. Wow I’m glad I don’t have to drive there. The parallel parking must be a real challenge! That meal looked delish! Looking forward to your next installment of Travels with Christi!!
