Lunch In Piazza Navona

Today Brooke and I walked to Piazza Navona to eat a nice relaxing lunch and enjoy the daily entertainment that was happening during the day. While we were walking we were distracted by all of the shops and beautiful buildings and must have taken a wrong turn somewhere. We eventually found our way back to the pantheon and followed the streets signs which led us to the notorious square. When we finally arrived there we circled the area trying to find a nice place to eat. We chose a tiny café called Ai Tre Tartufi that was dressed in flowered gold and blue tablecloths and parallel to the Fiumi fountain located in the center of the piazza. I really hope that the fountain in the center is finished being restored before the time we leave so that I will be able to see it without walls surrounding it and filled with flowing water While we were eating our delicious meals an accordion player stopped in front of our table to place us some music. When he was done playing, he reached out a little yellow sack so I picked up my purse and trying to gather any loose change I could find for him to show our appreciation for his wonderfully unique talent. I was surprised when the waiter had asked us to pay right after we had gotten our food, but thought it could have been the end of his work shift and he wanted to have the money before he left. We saw a large circle of people surrounding a man dressed in a pink, black and white stripped tuxedo doing magic tricks. He picked three men from the audience to help him perform a particular trick. It was getting late so we decided to back to the apartment, stopping to admire the painted mimes as we walked.
