On out second day together in Rome, Sophie and I had a great time visiting all the famous tourist sights and enjoying Rome's sidewalk cafe life for lunches and dinner. Here we vie for a viewing and selfie photo spot at the tourist packed Trevi Fountain. Then we found a nice pizza sidewalk restaurant to have a wonderful lunch...

For we Americans who grew up on our scrumptious New York and Chicago Style,s and Deep Dish Pizza smothered in tomato sauce and cheese, with so many toppings, the traditional pizza found in Italy is a different experience - just a thin flat bread topped with just a smattering of cheese and a few garnish- ments. But in this little sidewalk cafe next to the Trevi Fountain jammed with hun- dreds of people we found the only vacant table and ordered up lunch. Sophie ordered Cheese and Pepperoni for her pizza, and I got Ham and Cheese which turned out to be thinly sliced Prosciutto (uncooked, dry-cured) ham and chunks of Mozzarella, both of which really tasted incredible!
After exploring Rome for two days with Sophie, I drop her off at the Central Train Station on Sunday afternoon and we said "Arrivederci Roma" and good bye to each other as she returns to her home town near Florence. We've made plans for her to come and visit and shoot with me in Los Angeles in October, a trip to America she says she has always dreamed about.
