Trevi Fountain was only about a two minute walk from the bus station, but there weren't any signs and I walked in the wrong direction. That was actually how I came upon the Piazza Di Spagna. Go figure. If you take the bus remember to walk down hill when you get off. I also found that most of the people working in little shops were more than happy to help you with directions. If you ask, they will point you in the right direction.
Aside from the Colosseum this fountain was what I most wanted to see.
Pictures of it make it seem like the space it's in is much bigger, but like everything else in Rome it was crammed in.
You might not be able to see it but I caught a bird landing in the lower left hand corner of the picture. his wings are extended out behind him.
There were a lot of Gelato shops near Trevi fountain. The one where I got this also sold pizza. I got a slice for dinner. This Gelato was delicious! Mango and raspberry. Perfect for a hot day.
Trajan's Market and Trajan's Column.
A big important looking building. I have no idea what this is...
Ruins...
Ruins...
More ruins...
The Arch of Constantine. It is located directly next to the Colosseum.
Another picture of the Colosseum. I like this more than the others I had.
Isn't there one like this in D.C.? Only the symbols are all worn off?
So, Rome wasn't built in a day but I think I did a pretty good job of visiting it in a day. So what if I almost died from heat exhaustion, and who cares if I became somewhat homicidal trying to figure out how to get around. The point is no one died and I made it. Still, I wouldn't recommend this method...
