Five times to Italy but only once to Rome, part six

"After lunch," was when Georgio told us to come back and check into our room.  By now it was after 2 p.m. and we headed back to the hotel via Piazza Navona and Campo de' Fiori.

Both are large, attractive, public spaces with interesting details well worth inspection, but we were worn out. 

In Piazza Navona, throngs stood between us and the Bernini fountain. We pressed our way through. 

Campo de' Fiori daily market stalls
As in our public market at home, in the late afternoon Campo de' Fiori vendors were packing up their stalls.  Children ran around just out of reach of distracted parents and the odd paper wrapper blew across the ground. We will come back.
