How can I possible be 74?
Today Brenda went on a tour and I went on a long walk around some back streets and new neighborhoods of Rome; my own food walking/food tour. It was delightful, delicious and just what I needed.
I started out again with a croissant and coffee and then I set out on a quest for lunch. My niece has a friend who is a friend of Mr Batali (Chef Mario Batali’s dad). When he heard I was going to Rome he said that I must go to their favorite restaurant and have the oxtail.
Of I went and 3 1/2 miles later I arrived to feast upon the best food and wine I have had in four trips to Italy. It is in a neighborhood away from the chois of the city.

My lunch…
I walked back to our guest through the lines of people at the Colosseum, a very happy soul.
Brenda and I ended our evening with our last Roman pizza and gelato.
