Rome - Day Two

Decided to head to Piazza Di Spagna on New Year's Day coz I read somewhere that there were outdoor activities on Jan 1 and 2.

To my delight, music in the open :) Spot the feathered caps the musicians put on for the finale - the Italian national anthem. Had the pleasure of standing in front of this really good bass!

This Spanish Steps are supposed to be the favourite flirting ground of teenagers.

Punch & Judy :) Lunch was mexican rice + mozzarella cheese. Should have brought my chilli flakes along, rice was rather bland... Painted suitcases proved to be rather fascinating.

Concerto Corale by Our Lady of Victory Concert Choir from West Haven Connecticut at the Chiesa di S. Ignazio.

Progamme included What Child Is This, Go Tell It! Rain Down, Mary Did you Know and my all time fav, O Holy Night.
