... recommended by my mother. Basilica de San Clemente is a beautiful domed church with typically ornate paintings throughout but unique in that it's three churches built on top of each other, "like a sandwich" explains Dario when I asked him about it earlier.
En route we stop off at a gelateria for ice creams, slurping away on tiramisu, blueberry, banana, chocolate and more as three huge scoops are forced onto each little cornet. We greedily consume it as we walk along ...
Roma people!!
The train from Cinque Terre to Rome took about 6 hours or so. We were pretty tired by this point, and headed into the busiest, most chaotic city at this point.

But I'm just saying, America seems to be getting an unfair wrap/rap/wrap sheet/reputation.
Oh my, the owner of the restaurant I'm eating at ...
