Friday afternoon in Rome

[artnbarb]

We'll have Friday afternoon free, arriving by train at 12:30 or 2:00. We'll be able to leave our bags at the Beehive even if the room isn't ready, so I'm looking for ideas.

We have the Borghese booked for Saturday morning, then a rest before the U2 concert that night.
Sunday will probably be spend out of the sun, in the Capitoline Museum, then dinner with a friend.
Monday, thanks to a suggestion from one of you, will likely be CineCitta, then a late train back to Umbria.

That just leaves me with Friday afternoon to fill, so please, suggest away!

Dave and I had a marvellous time wandering around Trastevere, Isola Tiberina and Giancolo one day. Mostly we just enjoyed the colourful streets and the scenery but we did go see the glorious mosaics in Basilica Santa Maria.) We ate at a wee place called "Don" (Via di San Francesco a Ripa 103) that serves authentic fried pizza. Not really a lingering kind of place, just a bar with stools...but omg their fried pizza is soooooo good!! The owner appreciated our enthusiastic delight in his food so much that he gave us free dessert - graffe? - similar to a sugar donut but shaped more like a figure 8. Also mouthwatering. I want to return to Rome just to go eat there again! haha
