Ate breakfast at the hotel. Excellent, as always. Went over to the Spanish Steps and hung out for a while, while dirty people tried to sell us cheap crap. Left there and ate at the Piazza del Popolo. I had mushroom pizza, Em and Abe had four cheese pizza. They were all good, but mine was so good that Abe and I had to order a second one to spilt. Emily got annoyed at me for reading the guide book all the time and took it away from me. I was sad.
Hung out at the Piazza del Popolo and visited the Santa Maria del Popolo, an amazing, multifaceted church which Abe had been bugging us for days to go see. Inside were works by Raphael, Pinturicchio, Bernini, Bramante, and many others. We left there and climbed back to the top of the lookout point Abe and I had visited our first day in Rome. The lookout point is right on the edge of Villa Borghese park. We walked around the park, rented a three seater bike shaped like a car. Wore ourselves out in about ten minutes riding the bike. Walked around the park for a while looking at the scenery and ancient ruins.
We tried to get into the Borghese Museum, but it was sold out. Instead we hung out in the secret garden behind the building. Emily and I skipped rocks across a fountain at Abe. I tried to climb an old wall, but I almost killed myself while Emily through rocks at me and Abe laughed.
Ate dinner at a restaurant recommended by the concierge. Delizioso!
