A Drift through Trastevere

When I think of Drifting I think of timeless wandering. Drifting is relaxed and has no boundaries whether those boundaries are time or place. Drifting allows you to capture mental pictures of the stroll you are on. While drifting, you notice different things, hear different sounds, and are overall more in touch with your senses. On our drift through Trastevere I noticed things that I would have normally not paid attention to. I began my walk passing by a man who seemed to have all the time in the world. He was dressed in a suit and wore dark sunglasses. He seemed to be either waiting for someone or guarding the area. I walked down a street of restaurants and noticed some weird graffiti on the walls. The graffiti almost looked like stencils someone spray painted through. During my walk, I heard the sound of dishes being shuffled around coming from the back side of a restaurant which I assumed was a kitchen where someone was washing the dishes. Past the restaurant was a bakery with pastries which were calling my name. It was a cozy bakery with local women working in the bakery. The pastries were amazingly delicious. At the end of the drift I ended up near the same timeless man with no where to be.
Here are some things I saw along the way...
