WE DID A WALKING TOUR WITH OUR END DESTINATION TO "TREVI FOUNTAIN" IT WAS NICE TO SEE ALL THE SIGHTS IN ROME, WE WORE EAR PHONES AND PHONE DEVICES SO WHILE WE WERE WALKING WE COULD HEAR OUR GUIDE TELLING US ABOUT DIFFERENT SIGHTS OF ITALY. text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMhSCTO6o0j1TIo5q_umNHYXSrlZg9C8Z2DAJk9EQiirQhhYZReahz1558JyckAFy000DJQ6UwEXTUVEBP4Zx1-2iCpRYff8UiCnswtjUOpQrKg4Zl6_0mDe9Rc0mBiIGVNBR61AbsQKz3/s400/DSC_0078+%25282%2529.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674303738946993954" /> AFTER ENJOYING THE SIGHTS OF ROME WE FINALLY REACHED THE "TREVI FOUNTAIN" OR IN ITALIAN THEY SAY "FONTANA DEI TREVI. THIS IS A 18TH CENTURY BAROQUE OF STONEWORK RULED OVER BY A LARGE STATUE OF NEPTUNE. VISITORS COME HERE TO TOSS A COIN IN THE FOUNTAIN,WHICH IS SAID TO ENSURE THAT YOU WILL SOMEDAY RETURN TO ROME. IT WAS PACKED WITH PEOPLE AND THE GUIDE SAID IT WAS NOT AS BAD AS IN THE SUMMER. WE TOOK SOME PICTURES AND EVEN THREW A COIN OVER OUR SHOULDER AS TO FOLLOW THE TRADITION. THE ITALIAN PIZZA WAS DELICIOUS-YUM YUM! WE GOT TO SHOP AROUND FOR A WHILE, BILL BOUGHT SOME OIL PAINTINGS AND I PICKED UP A FEW SOVENIRS AND WE ENJOYED TASTLY ITALIAN PIZZA. WE WERE TOO FULL TO GET JELATO (ITALIAN ICE CREAM) BUT MAYBE TONIGHT AFTER DINNER.
