that's better







Sunday afternoon in the city, some illustrations of our adventures. We originally set out to visit the MACRO (Museo Arte Contemporana ROma) in the ex mattatoio (ex slaughterhouse) building in nearby Testaccio but it was closed.. on a sunday. Everything is actually closed on a Sunday here EXCEPT for flower stalls. 


Every other shop/institute/cafe/bar restaurant is shut on sunday and every single afternoon during the week  but being able to bring flowers to your host or making up with your wife/mother is the only absolute inalienable 24/7 right in Rome.

In the playground a prime example of the pattern of Rome brought to you by 'the naughty boys' as Kika and Felix call them, then our lunch spot, a cheese horsey in the window of Volpetti, legendary delicatessen and Kika not feeling so terrific hiding behind her pink shades. she's on the sofa with the flu right now.
