Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Piazza de Poppolo (Rome Day 1)

After leaving Amsterdam we headed to our last stop: Rome!  This was by far the nicest place we’ve stayed in since leaving Seth and Alli in Provence.  We have been staying in hostels the whole time, but this place was more like a 3/4 bedroom apartment with a shared kitchen and 2 bathrooms. The proprietor was very friendly and helpful.  We went to find lunch and ended up at a little pizzeria down the street.  We were either really hungry or the pizza was delicious!  Afterwards, we explored the city a little, starting with Trevi Fountain.  The fountain was beautiful.  After taking a couple pictures, we each threw a coin in the fountain over our shoulder and made a wish!

We then headed to the Pantheon.  The temple was already closed for the day, so we just took pictures outside.  From the Pantheon, we walked over to Piazza de Poppolo.  In the piazza, there is a 2000 year old Egyptian obelisk, along with a few fountains and many statues.  The piazza was so nice to just sit in and enjoy the atmosphere.  Later, when we got back to our apartment, we went to a little café across the street from us and had sandwiches and pastries.  The pastries were so good!  After hanging out a while longer at the apartment, we called it a night since we had a lot to do the next day.
