I suspect Charleston is similar, though I haven't yet been.<br />I think we had coffee in that musueum after making our way through the Musei Vaticani. We found a very nice health food place near the Vatican for lunch.Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-11384571937566372912016-03-15T10:22:44.580-07:002016-03-15T10:22:44.580-07:00it was lovely pizza but I don't think the monk...it was lovely pizza but I don't think the monks deliver. :(Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-51645971811457775612016-03-15T10:21:07.218-07:002016-03-15T10:21:07.218-07:00Some of the colour plates are a bit hit and miss b...Some of the colour plates are a bit hit and miss but I agree, that particular one is splendid.
