Eric and I arrived in Rome on Sunday, September 1, mid afternoon, very hot and humid. We hauled our bags onto a Regional Alitalia train from Fiumicino Airport and rode through farmland and suburbs to our new home for the next two months. Arriving at Ostiense Rail Station, our Trastevere neighbourhood opened out in front of us — a Sunday flea market spread out beside the station, the Pyramid of Cestius (12th c. BC), the Aurelian and Servian walls (3rd and 4th c. BC respectively), the Non-Catholic Cemetery, and a whirl of traffic on the Pyramide round-about.
Our little apartment is on the Piazza Santa Maria di Liberatrice at no. 18. On the third floor, apartment 30 must be one of the tiniest!
WE made it! Our Roman adventure begins!
