Swordfish

Today we went to where St. Peter was martyred and we saw a perfectly round chapel called the Tempietto. In the afternoon, I ran around the Circus Maximus where they used to race chariots.
I got to choose dinner tonight and we are having swordfish. The fish guy chopped off a piece and there was the long sword on its head.
