First we went into the center of Rome and saw the Trevi Fountain where king Neptune's Tritons guard the sparkling waters of Rome's most beloved monument. It was bigger than I expected and very crowded. It was very pretty. Then we went to the Spanish Steps. We got lost on the way and had to double back to find it. Again it was very crowded. There were lots of flowers so it was very colorful. We hurried back to the Trevi Fountain to meet our guide and back to the bus. T’Karri intrigued a number of people. |

In the Eternal City, we entered the vast
expanse of St Peter's Square through Bernini's Colonnade, and step into
Christendom's largest church-St Peter's Basilica. In the apse is the
splendid gilt and bronze throne, also designed by Bernini. We saw the
Pietà, Michelangelo’s masterpiece in white marble.

Leaving the Vatican, we drove along the Tiber River, passing Aventine Hill for a view of the imposing remains of the Imperial Palaces and the Circus Maximus.
