Last day in Rome today. We fly home tomorrow lunchtime. Didn't really have any plans so went to see the Trevi Fountain. Just wow! Another jaw dropping piece of architecture. As we sat admiring the fountain and watching folk taking selfies beside it, one young man took it to a new level. After the pic with his girlfriend, he dropped down on one knee, produced a box containing an engagement ring and proposed to him. She burst into tears and hugged him so I assume that was a yes. The tourists around them, including us, cheered and they went on their way. How very romantic.
I have become fully embedded in the Roman method of crossing the road. Do not wait patiently at a zebra crossing for the traffic to stop. It won't. Step confidently onto the crossing in a smallish gap and make them stop!
I've loved Rome - pleasantly surprised how reasonable it is. Especially if you eat pizza or pasta. Which is no hardship. ?
