The park surrounding the Villa de Borghese was incredible, especially on such an unexpectedly nice day. It reminded me of Retiro Park in Madrid, or Central Park in New York-- very busy with people engaged in all kinds of outdoor activities and just enjoying the nice weather. Here's a picture of a fountain outside the Modern Art Gallery:
Nearby was a nice little boat lake, with lots of folks out in their rented craft:
Here's just a nice shot of the park, looking towards the lake, but from another angle:
Walking around the lake a little further, I spotted this little columned building peeking out on the other side:
After dragging myself away from the lake (it was a very nice spot to sit and rest my weary feet-- everywhere I went this day was on foot), I spent a little time watching some kids play soccer near this spot, the Piazza de Sienna:
You can tell that the daylight was growing short from the long shadows. I'll have some more pictures of the park, and from my last evening in Italy soon.
