Rome by Night


After a long day touring the Vatican Museum, St. Peter's Basilica and St. Peter's square we headed over check-in to hotel #2. After check-in we hit up a nearby pizzeria for some quick grub then over to Trevi fountain. Even around midnight the fountain is packed with tourists and even a wedding party. I couldn't imagine being in this city during prime tourist season. With gelato in hand we observed the throngs of people, seemingly from all backgrounds, snap photos and throw coins into the fountain.

Day 2 has us doing the "Caesar Shuffle" according to Rick Steves. Sounds like another long day, especially when all sights are much more dramatic at night and therefore require double duty.
