Yes, somewhere between Campo and the Pantheon I seem to remember.
Have another one . . . . . this is not a great picture and maybe not even threadworthy BUT it is a slice of life in Rome that has a story.
We were having luncheon at a sidewalk cafe in Trastevere district when the fellow on the right pulls up in his car. He gets out and he starts making calls on his cellphone, a gravelly voice identical to Marlon Brando's Godfather with a more gregarious disposition. He disappears down the street for a while and comes back . . . . then the action starts. Someone comes by and hands him a bundle of bills for a plastic bag full of things. A few more transactions happen in similar fashion before the white-haired chap and the guy on the left show up, the latter giving every appearance of being some sort of bodyguard and our man on the right suddenly turning very deferential. The back of the automobile is flipped up and out come some new suits, the older guy inspecting the merchandise and seemingly not very impressed . . . . . .all of this being very interesting so early in the day from our vantage point of course. A slice of life in Rome.

Pic of Skaha Lake in Penticton. Penticton means 'a place to live forever'. It's where I call home now in Canada as I haven't been back to Calgary in a long time, and it's where I'd like to live when back in Canada long term.

Never been to Skaha Lake, or even Penticton. But JohnnyB, you make it seem like I'd be real happy there. Well done.
