Remulus and Romulus

Not quite perfectly composed, but i like the red umbrella here and the slight sideways slant (and yes i did that delibrately)

Roof top patios
On the way to our 3rd geocache we had to climb a hill. Got a birds eye view of the tops of the buildings in rome. Almost every place has a roof top patio
Island in the Rive
Beautiful island in the middle of the river. Also the site of our first geocache of the day
Sant Eustachio
This place is on many lists of top 100 places you need to go before you die. The coffe (expresso) is to die for and by far the best i've had anywhere.
