Santa Maria in Cappella

Our apartment in the old monastery of Santa Maria in Cappella is a beautiful neighborhood in Travestere. One night this week a few of us went to get something for dinner in the many small shops near S. Maria. We went around 7 o'clock, only to discover that most stores were closed and the neighborhood was quiet. Most people walking around and eating at the restaurants were tourists. I'm not sure yet if our neighborhood is geared toward tourism or the local residents. I decided that our neighborhood will be the place I will continually observe throughout the semester.
