Bill had booked a tour an 11am of the catacombs outside the city center (I had been there in 2015) and it was marvelous going underground and getting cool – and seeing the extraordinary spaces again. After our tour, Bill looked on Yelp and found a place not too far away for lunch – it was really good pasta. My tagliatelle con funghi porcini (porcini mushrooms) – and so much better than the pasta at the ristorante last night which seemed hardly cooked. During lunch Bill and I talked about the bakery we had seen up the block which somehow had escaped Rebecca’s attention – so that was the plan for sweets.
This bakery was something. Beautifully designed space, pastries that had great design input, including a Jackson Pollock cake and a Mondrian cake. Back to the apartment where we hung out until I left at 3:30 (not taking any chances) for my 5pm train back to Firenze – which was simple, on time and I was back in Firenze at 6:30. Since I had a big lunch in Roma so I bought some stuff to make dinner while walking home from the train station.
