Ciao, Roma!

Our third and final day in Rome was very relaxed.  One of the first things we did was stop by this lovely fountain.
This is Trevi Fountain, and it is huge! There is a large sculpture/building behind it, as you can see in this picture.
Here is the actual fountain.  Not only is it huge, but it is very pretty. We ate our lunch sitting on the side.
As did a lot of people. There were people everywhere, just chilling by the fountain. Climbing on the fountain. Throwing coins into the fountain. I've learned some interesting things about coins over here--I'll bring back some Euro-cents and pence to show you. (I made a wish, too, and tossed in a 5-Euro-cent coin). 

Rome was nice for the most part. It is hard going to a country that doesn't speak English. We learned some phrases, such as "thank you," "do you speak English," and "where do I buy tickets?" Not always easy to remember, but we made it through.
Tomorrow we will still be in Italy, but no longer in Rome. Get ready for some awesome Italian history/geography!
