Tourist Day

The Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain and the shopping area - all must things for the tourist and we did them all. Took some doing, many wrong turns and a few cuss words at the miniscule maps that we had to work with.

We arrived at the Trevi Fountain, tossed in the obligatory coin and we will win the lottery when we get back (at least I will; my wish will come true won't it?) at noon, just before the tour groups and it was crowded, but on the return trip, in our many circlings of the area the place was packed at 3pm.

On to the Spanish steps and more of the same lots of crowds and vendors hawking souvenirs. Doreen and her sister - Louise, were mighty impressed as this place was on the top of their lists.

Off to the shopping area but unfortunately what was on the shopping lists did not appear on the streets, so another trip will be coming!
