Lemon sorbet: exquisite, though oddly like many I've had before.  
Great!  The bitterness from the lemon zest balances the sweetness. 
This sorbet was lighter than the others.  Honey gelato: pure 
honey, with a perfumed taste (but not the smell).  Di Yin loved both 
of these.

I didn't photograph the first batch of gelato we bought:
grapefruit gelato: already described.
pear sorbet: like eating a very fresh pear.
banana gelato: also good.
More Rome
We stumbled on San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane, the church of Saint 
Charles at an intersection with four fountains.  This is one corner.
Another corner.
The third.
The final one.  I enjoy finding sights like this at random in Rome.

Dinner
We ate dinner here; I'm not sure if it's called ristorante Il Condor or 
Ristorante Angelo & Daniele Pizzeria.
Di Yin loved the cafeteria, dining-room-casual feel to the place.
Eggplant parmesan.  Quite good.  It was very light because the eggplant 
was cut in thin layers.  I've never seen it made like this before.  The 
thin layers helped the eggplant soak up juices.  Overall it was really 
something, not just because of the eggplant--there was also a better 
quality tomato sauce than I see in the states.
Pizza with mushrooms.  Alright.  I thought it was too gooey for me, too 
much cheese.
