I finished traversing Florence today and then took a train (the long way) to Rome.
As luck would have it, the first Sunday of every month is free entrance to all of the museums in Florence. So I took advantage and saw Michelangelo’s statue of David. I know I was only there for a short time, but I didn’t leave Florence feeling like I had missed somehting important! That’s awesome.
Rome on the other hand…
I only get 1/2 a day here and it will not be enough. I didn’t think I would care about Rome very much -but in the short time that I’ve been here already, I love it!
The one thing that I had to do was go to the Fontanna de Trevini, preferrably at night. So, after dinner tonight at Mamma Angelos & really good gellato – I spontaneously decided to walk to the fountain.
It was best decision. I made it there quickly and was teary eyed at the beauty. Definitely a hightlight of the trip so far. I tossed in a coin and started back. I planned to take Rome very lightly – and will have to. I’m pretty sure I have a shin splint from the hard walking this week. Tomorrow is mostly a day of travel, so I’ll keep off my foot as much as I can. Le sigh.

We don’t need no stinking shin splints!
Now you have reason to return to Rome – and I’ve no doubt that you will.
