Today we're going to attempt a self-guided walking tour around the area which includes the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and streets where Fellini shot many of his movies. (Apparently he has a monument too, from what I could gather from the driver who brought us into town from the airport. I was quite tired and suffering from caffeine withdrawal at that point, but will verify today.) And some other stuff too.

That staircase may be hundreds of years old.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine a stonemason carving each step meticulously as art.
I hope your morning coffee satisfies!
Good morning to you! Caffeine withdrawl should not be an issue from now on since you arrived in the land of cafe. Espresso, macchiato, latte .... enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGo and stand at the counter, like the italian men do and enjoy an espresso for 1 euro or less. :-)
Hello:
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you have finally arrived! We are sure that the long flight must have been very tiring, but today you are waking up in Rome! How exciting. We shall so much look forward to reading more about the sights you will see, the people who you will meet and, of course, the food and drink!
Have a wonderful day today - and don't do too much.
Have a wonderful day!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful view to begin your day! By the time I'm writing, you'll have walked the city and begun to absorb Rome and make it your own. Lucky you -- enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYay. I'm going to get some popcorn and just sit here, waiting, for more:).
ReplyDeleteAh bella Roma. So many similarities between italian and french culture. The morning cappucino is my favorite. Enjoy the beauty!
