We started the morning off with a light breakfast of coffee and croissants at Meccanismo Roma. It was perfect because this cafe was located right across the street from our apartment.
We walked along the cobblestone streets.
It was Sunday morning, and we came across the church, Piazza di Santa Maria. We attended mass, which was said in Italian.
The inside of the church is so beautiful.
After my husband and I attended mass we all set out to see the sights of Rome.

The line to get into the Pantheon was too long and crowded, so we didn't get to see the inside. I wasn't disappointed because I've seen the inside of it many years ago when my husband, mom, and her friend were all on vacation in Italy.

Walking along the gardens.
The row boats and the water reminded me of Central Park.
You can't visit Italy without having gelato. My coffee flavored gelato was so good and cooled me off from the hot evening. You might recognize this top that I'm wearing. I did a blog post about finding this top in a new thrift shop in our neighborhood. It went great with the long black skirt I was wearing.
We had a great day exploring Rome.

That sounds like an amazing day exploring Rome and starting with a croissant and ending with gelato makes it sound even better!
