A view across Rome

I ate my "lunch" up here. I'd spotted it as a nice place from the bus yesterday, and saw a couple of vans that looked as if they sold panini or some other sort of snack. In fact they were ice-cream and drinks wagons, and the only solid food they sold was nuts. So I sat under a tree eating pistacios and a couple of slightly squashed plums that I'd been carrying in my handbag all morning. It felt like a real "pilgrim" meal, washed down with water that had been cold an hour earlier.
