Trastevere

Meandering through the streets of Trastevere,
Cobblestones uneven beneath the feet.
It's dark
and the streets are lined with restaurants
full of locals and tourists alike.

It's a hive of activity,
A place to sit,
Enjoy the food and watch
as couples stroll hand in hand
throughout the narrow streets.

Gelato piled high in shops
Beckons after a meal of bruschetta, pasta and local wine.
A chance to indulge
Whilst wandering the winding cobblestone streets,
Unsure of location,
but safe in the knowledge
that just around the corner
another palazzo awaits,
full of chatter and laughter,
Of people enjoying the warm summer night
in beautiful Trastevere.
