Fountains and food

Thread Content

Leaving the museum, I went off to explore the streets of Rome. I visited the famous Trevi Fountain. Built in 1762, this famous fountain shows Neptune and his watery kingdom. Joining the others at the fountain, I tossed a coin over my shoulder into the water. Doing so is supposed to assure a return to Rome. Continuing on, I arrived at the Spanish Steps. They got their name 300 years ago when this was the site of the Spanish Embassy. Now it's a popular place to sit and watch people. The famous shopping street Via Condotti leads away from the Spanish Steps. As I walked along, I looked in the windows of the designer shops. After more wandering, I joined the locals in a small open-air restaurant. Over a plate of pasta, I considered the following day's itinerary. I had just one more day left in Rome. Unfortunately, time was too short to see everything I wanted to see in this great city. I hoped throwing the coin in the fountain worked. One trip to Rome just isn't enough.
