STEPPING OUT

By Deloris Munden

This past Saturday found us in Jefferson, Texas. Jefferson is a tiny town with a 2017 population of 2,106. But the 2,000 people who live there make a concentrated effort to attract visitors and Easter weekend was no exception.

With the dinner hour quickly approaching we selected The KnightLight Tavern. Our hostess/owner was dressed for the occasion. She wasn`t a bunny although she appeared to have whiskers (do rabbits have whiskers?) but she was covered in flowers. That sealed our decision.

Their wine list is very impressive with several house whites and house reds to choose from. The restaurant has an extensive wine by the bottle list including several in the $200 range if you are celebrating or just want one of those wines real bad. They also offer beer and spirits.

We snacked on bread with olive oil and herbs while we enjoyed our wine. It was tasty and just the right size for two people.

Piazza Navona – February 16, 2018 – Rome, Italy

Nancy in one of her late night searches found Rich Steves’ online tour walks of Italy.
She downloaded these to our iPhones, downloaded Goggle Maps where the tour was
taking us, and we layered up with clothes and stepped outside.

The first tour we began with was Heart of Rome. This was an easy tour to do since it
began less than five minutes from our front door.

First stop is Campo de’ Fiori. During daylight hours the square is a large market of
mostly fruits and vegetables. Of course, a different sale table caught my attention.

Vatican City at Night – February 15, 2018 – Rome, Italy

We had a light lunch late this afternoon and we are hungry. So we bundled up: long underwear top, shirt, sweater, leather jacket, and gloves for me and Nancy dressed similarly.

We walked to the end of our street or about five blocks. We then walked into a small restaurant that had a single couple occupying an indoor table. We made a mistake – we only ate here one more time! Our two meals at Osteria Le Streghie are as good as it gets. And by the time we left this evening over half the tables were occupied – we are early dinners and had arrived a few minutes after 8:00 pm.

Note: this photograph was taken in the late afternoon on our second visit, not our first visit at night.

Our Rome Home – Feb. 14 – 26, 2018 – Rome, Italy

By Tom Allin

We left rainy London for sunny Rome or at least it was semi-sunny when we landed.
We used a shared van with one other couple from the Rome airport into Rome. Our
driver couldn’t find the exact address but pointed in the direction he thought we
should walk — wrong. Nancy eventually found our “home”.
