My friend asked where else I wanted to go. Since we already decided to skip Sistine Chapel, hubs and I said Trevi Fountain.
We took the bus. My friend was ready with bus passes for both of us. It was a short ride. I loved that we alighted two blocks before our stop - I was able to walk the streets of Rome.
When we reached Trevi Fountain, it was packed. Impossible to get a good shot - full length shot. And the shadows crept in early too. Regardless of the blah photos we took, I console myself with seeing the fountain in person as opposed to taking a very good photograph. I did toss a coin or two in the fountain, hoping that Rome will call me back to her bosom some day.

wow lovely photos. planning to visit here in summer! happy trip!
ReplyDeletesuch a trip you're having. a dream for me. probably 20 years from now...maybe never :(
ReplyDeletei think i'm getting really envious here right now. never mind that you weren't able to take good shots, but honestly these are perfect! such a feast for our eyes! :)
ReplyDeletelovely architecture! :P
ReplyDeletegorgeous shots still! Rome is also my dream destination. i wish i'd have the chance to toss a coin in this fountain someday soon.:p
ReplyDeleteoh, i love your header photo. dreamy.
Now that you've tossed a coin, I do hope you will return someday. I haven't returned. . . yet.
ReplyDeletewhat masterpieces! you are blessed to have walked along these structures!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, Maria. That fountain is one of the most packed places in the city! You DID get some good shots, however, so you can feel very lucky. The coins will count for something, too. :)
ReplyDeleteYour so luck to get to see those places, interestingly in Seoul in South Korea, there is a theme park called Lotteworld and they have a miniature version of that, not as nice of course.
ReplyDeleteTossing a coin sounded touristy and magical. You'd probably return there. =)
ReplyDeleteWonderful views of Trevi fountain, one of the most famous in the world! The coins thrown in the fountain go to the "Caritas" (charitable institution).
ReplyDeletenice. i just saw this in one of my copy of conde nast traveller magazine. definitely an iconic structure there.
ReplyDeleteI love the first photo. Hope I can see this work of art in this lifetime. :)
ReplyDeletewow, the fotos don't even look like you were dissapointed by it.
ReplyDeletethey're all pretty shots! just spectacular.
i would love to throw a coin or two if i were there too! haha.
That's a spectacular fountain. May your wish come true. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work of art.
ReplyDeleteExcellent pics!
