Trevi Fountain

April 19, 2012

Today we walked (in the rain) in the direction  of Trevi Fountain so the newcomers to Rome to thrown their proverbial coins in the fountain and then on over to the Gallery Borghese, after a lunch at Okiba Mozzarrela Bar.



Lydia, Jamie and Marilyn at Trevi.

I think the main purpose of going here was to get gelato at San Crispino's afterward!

Afterward, we traipsed over to the Villa Borghese for a very wonderful viewing of the Caravaggio's and Bernini sculptures.  I cannot get over the symbolic realism of the former and the life that Bernini  infused into marble.

Our last dinner in Rome was at a very nice restaurant near the hotel so we could tumble quickly into our beds and rise early for the trip tomorrow to Umbria.
