And onto Rome!
Here's a picture of the Tuscan/Umbrian countryside on my train ride from Florence to Rome. It was absolutely breathtaking. I can't imagine living in such a beautiful place:
The Pantheon!!!!!!!!! I had another moment of "OMG I can't believe I'm here!" like I did outside the Duomo. Sadly being fixed a bit outside, but still...it's the Pantheon:
I love that on the Pantheon walls you can still see the original architectural design. Check out the arches in the brick work to support the weight of the walls:
The Trevi Fountain. The fountain overwhelms the small piazza that it's in. This aura is aided by the throngs of tourists milling everywhere. I can't imagine how busy this place would be in the summer months:
I ended up at the Piazza Del Republica (I know, another one, lol). It was really interesting to see it lit up at night, so I'm glad I made the journey so far:
