Our last morning in Rome

We only had a few hours before we had to head for the airport for our flight home. We decided to explore the neighborhood near our B&B for awhile and happened upon the most interesting outdoor market. It was several blocks long and was on both sides of the street. The different vendors had little buildings that were all side by side on the sidewalk and they extended awnings from each one so it was like we were inside the whole time. It was so cool seeing all the different colors and smelling the different aromas and also watching the people doing their daily shopping. There was every variety of things for sale, you could get everything you needed right there on the street and not just food items either, there were clothing stalls, toys, fabric, household items, purses and bags. It was hard to pull ourselves away when it was time to leave, so many things to take pictures of.

You will just have to make another trip. So many things still to see.
