Afternoon Walk in Roma


We took a walk around an area of Rome that we have never visited.  It the site of the 1960 Rome Olympics.  




We started by crossing the River via the Bridge of Music.  It is a pedestrian only bridge with people exercising, yoga, boxing, and weight training.  So just sitting or lounging on the bridge enjoying the spring day.







It was then a short walk to the Mussolini Obelisk at the University.  No he is not revered in any way just remembered as a part of Italys past.



 Then is across another bridge with these beautiful reliefs.   Then on to find pizza and gelato.

Breakfast in Rome






 We walked to the local bar, which is not a bar like an American bar but a local place to get coffee, pastries, sandwiches, etc.  All the food is made there in house.  Everything tastes as good as it looks.

 We are on Roma this week.  Since it is the year of the Jubilee we had to visit St. Peter’s Basilica.  I can’t count the times we been there but it is always a moving experience .  This time it was very crowded for the Jubilee but no so crowd you could not see want you wanted to see.  


Of course we visited the Episcopal Church, St Paul's Within the Walls.

Sourdough Deli Rye





This was my first attempt to make Sourdough Deli Rye.  It came out great.  Perhaps the only thing I would change was the Caraway seeds.  They were sprinkle on after the egg wash we applied.  




The crumb was good and yielded a nice texture.




I will be making this again but maybe in a couple of load pans.
