A Taste of my Favorite Place

Piazza Navona is lovely.  I love to go after work, when the weather is starting to cool down and the locals mix in with the tourists.  You can see the blatant toursits, and you can see the italians who are generally walking their dogs.  I love to people watch, to listen to the music from street performers, to be entertained by street performers, and to just relax.  At night Rome takes on a whole new feel.  The water in the fountains sparkle blue and the whole city seems to change pace.  I wish every city had it's own Piazza Navona, with gelato as well. 

My favorite street performer in Piazza Navona is the finger puppet guy.  I heard about him from friends and they said that for sure I would see him.  I had no clue as to what they were talking about and how a person who has finger puppets could be so entertaining.  Well...I have seen him there three times now and he is hilarious every time.  He loves seeing us laugh, and always draws a crowd.  He even likes it when we take pictures and video.  He is more out there to share his unique talent than to get money from tourists.  Everyone loves him.  Here is a special bit that he was especially excited for.

Piazza Navona makes me happy.
