I am blogging from a cafe 20 feet from the fountain in the Piazza Novona. The fountain the guy almost gets drowned in during ‘Angels and Demons’. The pizza here was amazing. Tab and I have had an amazing day. We went on a bus tour of Rome that allowed us to hop on and off at will. The bus was a red double decker with an open top. So touristy but awesome. With our Roma pass we had a big discount.
So we stopped and toured the Trevi fountain, the Colosseum, and the Pamtheon. We walked by the Palatine and the Roman forum but were too tired to spend and hour running around inside the complex.
The highlight so far was hanging out in the Colosseum. That was amazing. I love the Patheon too. That building is indescribable. It’s 2200 years old and huge.
Hopefully we will hit the Spanish steps again tonight. We went there for pizza last night and that was so fun. It’s a huge hangout. If you have any ideas of cool places to go let me know. Also if you want to say hi while we are here go ahead and leave us a comment.
Here are some pics I took with my phone. Better ones from the camera are forthcoming.

Cute photo of Tab. Tell her I said HEY!!!
This is unreal. Looks like you’re sending me postcards, not pictures from an iphone of things you’ve seen directly in front of you. Amazing!!! Making me itch for a big travel for Kelly and I… but I will have to be patient, it’ll happen in time, just not always as quickly as I would like.
Your quick description of the fountain, mentioning “Angels & Demons” totally put it into perspective. ha ha. Funny how we can easily grab hold of movies as a place of reference for things outside our hometowns.
Keep up the blogging, enjoy the adventure. Can’t wait to hear and see more!
