March 17 2011 (Thursday)

This is a big day! We decided to go to Rome. We took the first Trenitalia off to Rome. When we got there, we were so anxious to take pictures of the famous “Colosseo”. It was amazing to see this ancient building
still standing after so many years.


We passed the Emanuele II mounument. This was historic building that shows statutes made of marble. After lunch we walk to the plaza called “Piazza di Novano” here we saw nice sculptures and fountains. We later took a walk to the Trevi Fountain. According to the locals, if you face your back to the fountain and throw a coin with you r hand to the side of your shoulder, to the fountain, this means you are coming back to this fountain. We later came to the famous Spanish Steps (“Piazza di Spagna”).

 This is the widest stair case going up to a church in Europe. Later we decided to take the subway trains to the Vatican City! This was a big place; we walked into the entrance of the huge place. This place has hundreds of statues on the columns.
