Another plane ride, just a short one over to Rome on 6/26. We got into a taxi and in an expected remark from Sean, he said to the driver, “ok we only have 2 hours, so show us everything in Rome!” The driver gave him a blank stare.

On to Gianicolo – Janiculum hill to get a quick panoramic view of the city. It was something!

After a Jason Bourne jaw-clenching ride through very small bumpy roads, we reached the largest fountain in the city – Trevi Fountain with lots of tourists. Our driver definitely knew the shortcuts. I didn’t even have to close my eyes once. The fountain was enormous and looked like it was the facade of a building.

Point of interest – the name of Trevi comes from Tre Vie (three ways), since the fountain was the meeting point of three streets. So there you go!

By the way, if you’re wondering why we only had 2 hours in Rome, it was our stop over to get the train to Tuscany!
