Spanish Steps and via Condotti-the famous shopping street!

Got off the Metro,walked a couple of steps into the plaza and there it was the crowded Spanish Steps.   Lots of steps leading up to church.  These steps were in an old movie Roman Holiday with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck.  There was tons of people sitting on the steps just enjoying the beautiful sunny day.

The square was surround by little cobble stone street and of course the main on was via Condotti Street.  This street has all the famous shops, Prada, Channel, Dior and Gucci to mention some.  It was crowded and there was guards at the doors of these shops.  We are talking about prices in the thousand for clothes ect.
I was in heaven!  Then I found a shop with purses I like, it is called Furla.  An Italy leather purse shop since the 1920's.  I fell in love with a blue purse from the spring collection.  Richard said get it, so I did and the lady talk me int a matching wallet.  I never had a matching wallet before in my life.  If it didn't match black...  It was white with a blue flower, go figure..
Looking at the sights and stopping at a small cafe for late lunch and some vino.
Lots of walking up the steps to get to the Villa Borghese park.  All up hill and I was tired to the Park.  Very nice, lots of trees and statues. Found a nice outdoor cafe to stop and have some vino before going home.

Back to subway and of course Sat evening, it was crowded.  Thia time Richard had his wallet in his side pockets.  Off the subway and wallet was gone.  Can you believe?  They reach in his jean side pocket !

Again, I love the sights but "there is no place like HOME"
