Again, Sunday we took the subway into Rome. We were headed to the Pantheon and the Trevi Fountain. Off the Metro and got out our map to find our way around. Finding our direction we headed down the people filled streets towards narrow cobble stone streets in the direction of the fountain. Along the way was shops and lots of outside cafes and then we arrived at the fountain. It was awesome! Very crowed with tourist. I have always wanted to see this fountain, since it was in an old move called "Three Coins in a Fountain" One of those girls, romantic movies. You are supposed to throw a coin in the fountain and make a wish. That is what everyone was doing. We stop and had a Gelato, that is Italian ice cream. It is really good and they have shops everywhere.
By the way it was a beautiful day! High in the 60's with sunshine. After taking in the foutain, we heading for the Pantheon. Again walking through the narrow coble stone street among the cafes and stores we arrived. What a site! Some history, it started out square and ended up round. It is where famous artist are burried and they have altars for church. Beautiful statues and paintings. You'll have to look up the rest. We walk around some more and decided to eat. We found this small cafe and had a great bottled of vino and eats.
We then headed back to the Metro to go home. It was packed with people, when we got to the 2nd subway we had to push our way to get in and stood packed together.
Nice day, but here is the bad news! Don't know why but Richard had his wallet in his back pocket, guess?
Yes, someone stole his wallet! So go home and cacelled cards and lost about $100.....
So, will post some pictures on facebook and bye until next time...
