Pasquetta in Frascati

Today as is traditional for Romans on Pasquetta (Easter Monday) I went into the countryside, and visited Frascati, a small town 24km south east of central rome. It is located on a hill which provides distant views of Rome. Its also famous for its white wine, naturally called Frascati.

The town centre has the average small Italian town feel, just the way I like it! It was great to get out of Rome for a couple of hours. I went with a friend who has just returned from a trip to Cairo, Egypt and Istanbul, Turkey so it was great to hear his stories, and those are definatly two locations I will add to my travel wishlist!

Oh, and had my first proper sit down meal since I arrived in Rome - I am after all an unemployed student! Had an amazing pizza and a bottle of the local Frascati white wine (would be wrong not too). It was a good wine, probably even better when the weather gets even hotter.
