Rome- Day 4

We woke up with only a few more hours in Rome, so we checked out of the Alessandro Palace Hostel and hit the town. As I have mentioned before, I fell in love with the Trevi Fountain so we walked that direction stopping in souvenir shops on the way (where I got a watercolor print of the Trevi so I wouldn't miss it as much). I actually loved the fountain so much that at dinner the previous night I asked the waiter what the policy was for bathing/swimming in the Trevi. He said that they have close-circuit TV on it but he thought that as long as I didn't damage anything I would only get a slap on the wrist. Tempting...


I also bought some postcards and patches, my staple souvenirs.

After shopping we went to the cutest little restaurant on a side street by the fountain. There we ate lunch in the Mediterranean sunlight as the vespas sped past us. Again, I claimed that I was just going to get bruschetta because I had eaten so much pasta, but the pasta looked too good to resist so I got bruschetta AND pasta. I was carb-loaded my entire time in Italy.

After a lovely lunch we headed back to the hostel to get our bags and then walked to Roma Termini to catch our train to Florence. We bought tickets but had a little difficulty locating our train platform and had to run to catch the train. We did successfully make it on broad and were on our way to Florence, Italy!
