Serendipity

Today I was reminded to not be so attached to an agenda. The hotel's shuttle van dropped us off at the Piazza Venezia (we had no choice). It's a busy but beautiful area in the city center. It was near the area I wanted to visit, but I wasn't sure how to get there, despite having a map.

So we inevitably got lost. And that's the secret to good travel, especially in Italy. Just get lost. Wander through the back streets and eat in a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant. We ended up having a nice healthy lunch -- a spinach and cheese panino and lemon soda.
Two of my favorite photos that I shot today:

1. I turned a corner and ran into this statue tucked away in the corner of a little piazza.
2. The fountain in front of the Pantheon.

    Yum real pizza!!! I love authentic IRISH pizza
    none of that American frozen pie made in CHINA
    that clows in the dark . Lucky you you get lost and fall into the real thing. I know well ( According to FOX news) that Italy the third world nation hardly has Cheese or Spinach.
    Why Bill Orieley ( FOX anchor) was just saying how lucky we are to get all the tainted goods we get from CHINA...
