Last night I waited until it had cooled down and then took a long walk to see the la Fontana di Trevi (the Trevi Fountain) for the first time. On the way I passed by...
the Teatro de Marcello (the theater is on the left and some very large columns that look great lit up at night are on the right. There are still concerts at Teatro de Marcello in the summer; when I walked by one was about to start and I thought about going until I saw the ticket price - 52 euros! Must have been someone reaallly good.
Capitoline Hill - this is at the top of some steps that I believe were designed by Michaelangelo.
Piazza Venezia, with the capitol building more commonly known as "the wedding cake" - so true, right?
Then I headed up Via de Corso, took a right, and a few blocks (and 40 minutes) later had made it to la Fontana di Trevi. Beautiful!
On my walk home I saw these massive columns, but am not sure what they are.
I also got a good look at what the banks of the Tiber River are like in the summer evenings - it's like a mini carnival almost. And then 5 minutes later I was home. All in all a pretty excellent little walk. Maybe I don't need television to entertain me...nah, I can't help missing it a little bit!

I remember trying to find Trevi Fountain and walkinf FOREVER in circles because it's almost in some random alley!
