JUST ROMAN AROUND TOWN.....
Woke up to a beautiful blue sky today, so we took Jane's suggestion and toured the city on the hop on-hop off double decker bus. What an awesome adventure, this city is incredible. Everywhere you look is another piece of history. Can only imagine what is what like as all this amazing architecture was being built. We got off and meandered down cobblestone streets enjoying every bend in the road....and believe me there are lots of bends. I don't think this city has a single road that is straight for more than 2 blocks. We climbed the Spanish Steps and found a great spot to people watch. Also threw our coins in the Trevi Fountain, adding a few to the 800,000 euros that are thrown in annually....somebody was smart to start that tradition....tradition being that if you throw a coin over your left shoulder while wishing to return to Rome, it will come true. Tomorrow we are touring the Colosseum.....so looking forward to that. Stay tuned.....
