Hot day but enjoyable tour with Kat - come hungry!

Quite a hot day but Katherine was great! We loved the Testaccio market and sampling delicious bruschetta with fresh tomatoes, suppli, etc. We had a stroll to view the pyramid and gardens and then went to a nice, cool restaurant and learned about the Roman sauces and enjoyed three of them with different pastas. We ended with our fave, gelato.
