We\u2019ve been looking for the more quiet places in Rome and yesterday we walked to the Testaccio neighborhood – about 30 minutes from our hotel. \u00a0The route was pretty and peaceful with parts of the walk along the Tiber River.<\/p>\n

We made our way to the Testaccio Market\u2026one of the nicest markets we\u2019ve been to. \u00a0The rooftop is glass so the inside is bright and the fruit, vegetables, and lunch options are very good.<\/p>\n

We bought a couple of pizza slices with creative and unique toppings – one with thin slices pumpkin and ham, all sprinkled with fresh rosemary; \u00a0the other, prosciutto with delicious fresh figs. \u00a0Larry tried a tasty stewed veal sandwich.<\/p>\n

Also in Testaccio: \u00a0The Non-Catholic Cemetery in Rome is a beautiful and tranquil place to visit. \u00a0 For hundreds of years, non-Catholics had to be buried outside city walls – that is why this cemetery is in Testaccio. \u00a0It\u2019s a green oasis, lush with cypress trees and flowers. \u00a0John Keats and Percy Bysshe Shelley are buried in this cemetery.<\/p>\n

From this cemetery, we have a great view of the Pyramid of Cestius, one of our favorite landmarks. \u00a0 We caught this image of it on a perfect blue sky day!<\/p>\n

Late in the afternoon we made our way to the bus stop to go back into the city center. \u00a0We took the correct bus but going in the wrong direction. \u00a0We rode many miles before we were able to exit, cross a major highway, and get on a bus going back into the city! \u00a0In spite of that hiccup, it was a good day in Rome! \u00a0We ended it with simple, perfectly prepared pasta dishes at Ristorante Pinseria Da Massi in the Trastevere neighborhood.<\/p>\n
