Rome - Day One

First full day in Rome was another rainy day. Shocker. So we donned our rain coats and umbrellas and headed out to see some sites. Today, we basically just walked around and saw some of Rome’s more famous fountains, squares, and the Pantheon. I have to write about each of our days in Rome in just a few minutes, so I’ll make these ones brief.

Here we are at Trevi fountain. Trevi fountain is a famous fountain made during the Renaissance. It is said if you toss a coin in the fountain you are guaranteed a return trip to Rome.

Here we are at the Pantheon. The pantheon is an amazing building. It’s really large with extremely ornate sculptures inside. It also holds the tomb of a king and the tomb of the famous Renaissance painter Raphael.

Em and I also walked down the main shopping street of Rome – which is very difficult with an umbrella considering how narrow the sidewalks are. Em wanted to get some Italian sneakers, but had no luck. However, we did indulge and get some Italian leather jackets. On the left you can see my Italian alter-ego, Jaybucksalo MacInnasconi, wearing the Italian leather jacket and slugging back a bottle of wine.
