When you are tired, hot, hungry, and your feet hurt, its time to take a break.  This trattoria was tucked away up a small "street" off the Pantheion's piazza and I liked the mood given off by the shadows, etc.:

There is nothing better than Italian coffee in the morning!  I stopped at a small cafe for this pick-me-up on my way to the Vatican.

Of course you can go for healthy ... I took this next image at an open air market near the center of Rome:

There are delicious fresh sandwiches... just stop at almost any bakery:

Some go for the ubiquitous Coke at mid-day ...

But I preferred a Compari and soda ... You know that old line "When in Rome, do what the Romans do"?  It seemed like a good idea:

The near-by table went with wine and water and an espresso .... 

There's pastry items everywhere.

My favorite window display of sweet items:

This basket of squash was being displayed at the open-air market.  So, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I'm closing this post with it:

If you live in the U.S.A., Happy Thanksgiving holiday!

Bye for now,
