Anyone who visits the ancient city of Rome for a short time as we are, will only scratch the surface of this fascinating part of Italy. And even scratching the surface could be overwhelming.
There is much we can say about Rome, but it will take reams to do so. And we all have formed impressions from the countless songs, movies, books and stories from this place.
As we look around the city, I can't help hearing all those old songs in my head and reminiscing about the old movies. How can you not stand near Trevi Fountain and not want to belt out "Three Coins in a Fountain?" But I resisted it and Cintra was much relieved.
So rather than regaling you with the historical facts, anecdotes and stories about Rome, we will share some of our images of today. We hope to have more from the Vatican and the Colosseum in the coming days.
First here is a map of the main attractions.
We saw most of those in the centre such as Navona Square, Monument of Vittorio Emanuelle, Venice Square, Popolla Square, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Pantheon, Circus Maximus.
These photos of Trevi Fountain show it before the present restoration and what it looks like today during construction.
Arrivederci!
