I first visited Rome at the start of 2009 to celebrate my Mum’s birthday. I returned again at the end of that year on pilgrimage with friends from Washington DC. Both of these trips were wonderful and secured a fondness in my heart for both Italy in general, and for its historic capital in particular.
As some of you know, my Mum came to visit me in San Diego recently. In case anyone was looking for ideas for things to do when friends visit, I thought I’d post some of the things we did (or tried to do) while she was here :
Food
Sandwich lunch at Hillcrest Sandwich Store
Lunch at Peohe’s
Gelato at Pappalecco (Little Italy)
Sunday Brunch at Pappalecco (Hillcrest)
Dinner at El Prado
