Roma 2

















 Rome was busy busy at all times! I wondered when it was siesta time for these people. Some days Tanner and I would ride the bus + walk a couple blocks (about 45 mins in all) home and take a power nap and then back into tourist modeThe photo right above is Tanner drinking from a water fountain. Something we really missed was water fountains. It is definitely something we take for granted in the U.S. In the U.S. they are literally every where and in Italy you are lucky if you find one! 
We visited St. Peter's Square on a Sunday in hopes to see and hear the Pope's Sunday blessing. We obviously were at a bad angle... the photo of the window, 6 images up, is the Pope's window. 






I really liked EUR. It is completely different from old Rome. EUR was intended to become the city center, but still is a very peaceful, clean part of Rome. Locals from old Rome do not really like EUR.

We visited the Trevi Fountain during the day and night. So beautiful but we had did not have romantic experience, way too many people! We made sure to toss a coin, promising a return to Roma!
