A welcome oasis in busy Rome

Posted by Elizabeth. Rome is a city of parks. I didn't know this about the city. There are a couple well known ones like Villa Borghese but there are also many, many others.

Beth and I stumbled on one blocks from our apartment without realizing it was a huge ancient valley full of green space and ruins and goats and a community garden. Oh and a castle or two. I think it's the most beautiful park I've ever seen. Full of happy people running and biking and kissing and playing.

Rome is also a city of horrible traffic, loud motor scooters, crowded subways and packed sidewalks. Which makes the parks that much better.
