Sunset from the rooftop bar

There was only one place we wanted to be as the sunset drew near on our 2nd day in Rome-the rooftop bar in the hotel. Top floor via elevator then take the stairs...



No crowd up here tonight. We had our pick of the tables.


While waiting for Carol to join me I had a nice cold beer. The waiter brought me some of the olives they grow on the rooftop and a bowl of crunchy nacho chips. I have all I need to be happy.


Looking to the West which is the best way to look for sunsets





Looking back at the Vittorio Emmanuel II monument where we had been a few hours before.




More people join us as our waiter Florestan checks his tables.





High above  the hubbub of Piazza della Rotonda. We can still hear the music of the buskers down below in the square but less obtrusively. We've done our sightseeing for today and our only task this evening is to find dinner.

Lights go on in the apartments overlooking the square




Carol doesn't leave her seat as she has no need to.


One last look and then we are off to dinner. A walk through Piazza Navona and, beyond in a narrow side street, a visit to a restaurant we discovered one year before for a good Roman dinner.
