Monday morning we headed to the vegetable market at Campo de’ Fiori, one of Rome’s most famous produce markets. In the middle of the square is the statue of Giordano Bruno, a monk who was burned at the stake for heresy in 1600.
The market was wonderful and we had such a great time especially since there is no market at all in Siena! Boo!! In addition to produce they had different spices: we stocked up on cumin and cayenne pepper for our Mexican food along with a giant bag of black beans. There are no black beans in Siena!
The market-Chestnuts 
Pumpkins (zucca giallo) and garlic
Hot Chili peppers in a basket on a motorino
Reed and Ollie outside a salumeria
Above is a picture of a man sharpening his knife by biking! He did not want his picture taken so we had to quickly sneak one! After the market we headed over to the Vatican so Reed could go inside St. Perter’s. Unfortunately there was something going on and the line was unbelievably long and we had a train to catch so Reed could not go in. Something for our next trip. We had a fabulous time and were sad to leave!
