Oooh you're lucky, that's one of the loveliest cities in the world. There is a dinky jazz-cum-classical record shop (mostly CDs) opposite the Pantheon, like 10 minutes on one side. (The side of the Minerva church) Food is cheap in all the cafes, I got by on pizza and icecream, go to the cafes in Piazza Navona and your girl can check out the vintage clothese shopping. If you go to the Vatican, go v early in the am as the queues take up to 2 hours and it closes early. If you go to the Forum, make sure you go up to the Palatine as well. It's the most beautiful place in the world.
