Una Esplorazione!

Dinner tonight was delicious again. We had a bean soup with some sweet bread and salad for our first course, then pizza with prosciutto and mozzarella, and finally fruit for desert. After dinner we went back to the room. I heard a knock on the door, and my neighbors had stopped by to ask if we wanted to go for a walk. We jumped up and grabbed our coats! Not really knowing what to do, we started walking in the normal direction towards the street with our class buildings. Finally, we decided to go to the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps. I definitely disagree with anyone who said the Trevi was disappointing! I turned the corner and was in awe. The way the water and statues were lit in the darkness was beautiful. And I could definitely get far enough back to take it all in. I loved it! I think it will be a new studying destination for me. The Spanish Steps were pretty amazing too at night. The fountain at the front was glowing and the steps looked almost ominous at a distance with the spotlights. We walked up to the obelisk at the top and took in the view of the city at night for a few minutes before heading down. The whole walk down we were practically attacked by men trying to sell roses. They left me alone for the most part but chased down the four other girls. (I decided to walk down the other side of the stairs to avoid them.) We took the scenic route through the old cobblestone streets back to the hotel where we are now attempting to plan our trip for next weekend. We are going to Dublin (and if that absolutely won't work, then we will join another group going to Prague.) I cannot wait! Back to skyping mom and sleeping soon. Arrivederci!
