Hi, there.  Today I am turning my blog over to mama’s photos of some pretty silly but fun things she saw strolling around our beloved city, and far be it from me to judge.  But I’ll put them in anyway and just keep taking a bath, which is far more important than some of these weird photos!

So here are three ladies at the Rome Filmfest, and you may not realize it but some of their garb is made out of FILM.

Mama wasn’t sure that ANYONE was looking at the dresses, heh, heh.

This is a lovely curved piazza where many movies are shot.  And off to the right (out of the pic) is the trattoria where Ivana Trump had dinner a few weeks ago when the family was visiting Rome.  It was evidently the only restaurant that was easily protected by the Secret Service guys.  But I’ll bet they had good pizza!

This is our little street with the walkthrough from one building to another, prevalent in medieval times.  For some reason, everyone takes a picture of it, but frankly, mama, it does zilch for me.

A very neat and orderly place where the beloved homeless lady of our neighbourhood sleeps at night.  Across the street is the carabinieri (police) station, and so she sleeps safely.  Mama has long conversations with her as she is full of amazing stories.  She also greets every handsome business man who walks by, and they all know her.

These are mama’s favourite sandwiches–tramezzini–I think you’ve seem them before, but these were especially fun because the bread is made with squid ink!!!

And this is one of mama’s favourite things to shoot.  There are little corners everywhere that have flowers growing out of the stones.

An innovative owner of a trattoria uses all kinds of different chairs for his dining tables, and a lovely little flower in a second-hand vase on each one.

UH, OH, THAT’S IT, MAMA!!!

I just knew she’d throw in something like this…what’s a kitty going to, I ask you?

No more guest blog for YOU, mama!

You had better watch your step…
