The Spanish Steps. So called because in years past the Spanish embassy sat at the top.

As it was a Sunday The Spanish Steps seemed to be the place to visit.

This was followed by a walk through the Villa Borghese gardens and public park.

A few quick beers and a light lunch at the Piazza di Popolo. Then on to the match.
Today we were back at 78, in a cold very wet, rainy Plymouth.

Saluti.
