a day to write home about in rome....

Today it stopped raining and the sun made an apprearance! A perfect day to stroll and linger through key places to experience in Rome! With my Lonely Planet book close by my side, I started at the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain. Tosed a coin in the fountain which means I will be back someday. I hope so...I am realizing that I have only scratched the surface of all the history, art, and beauty here. I then visited the Pantheon and a few larger piazzas, where people gather. After two weeks in Buenos Aires and several days here in Rome, I realize how much we are missing out at home! We need some public squares and gathering spaces to hang out and enjoy! Along the way I had some good espresso, pizza in an outdoor cafe, and watched part of an Italy-France rugby game in a tavern full of locals (I had no clue what I was watching, but Italy was winning!) . It was a good day to soak in the culture, history, art, and people. I took a ton of pics!

One more day here beofre I leave for Prague on Monday, where it is in the high 20's. (Yikes, and I was complaining about the cold here!)

Just had to share my good day with you all! Miss you all and wish you were here!
