SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH
A late breakfast at the hotel and then a walk over to the Galleria Borghese. We had tickets for 1 pm admittance. Arrived early and sat in the park and simply watched Sunday afternoon families enjoying the warm sun. Lots and lots of children and dogs. Weather here has been incredible. The afternoon high has been reaching about 74!
Next two hours were spent inside the Galleria. A beautiful building with a great collection of art. We've all been here before but it is another old friend and one that you learn to appreciate the more you visit.
We then headed into the park and down the hill through Piazza del Popolo to our hotel.
Just a lovely day. And lots of assorted pics!
