As per my the instructions of my tour guide the night before, I stocked up on some food before taking the tram (#8 of course) and a bus (yep, the #75) to the sights of the day. For the budget minded, this would be a great day. For €1.70 I got a hot pocket, Roma style. (authentic and great) I had an empty water bottle and filled it several times by using the many fountains in Rome. Really, you can drink the water from any of the small fountains located throughout the city and Italy. Very tasty. I then found a grocery-type store and bought a bag of Barilla Tarallucci. (cookies) The best surprise is when I arrived at the ruins, the normally €13.00 fee was waived. Learned later that this entire week is free as part of a celebration of archeologica (Italian version). Very cool on the wallet.
