End of Day 2 in Rome

Well we finally figured out that Obama was not coming to Rome and it was a big cycle race in Rome that was causing all of the commotion yesterday and today. It seems like it closed down half of the city. After the visit to the catcombs we made our way back to the apartment. We embarked on a wild evening stroll that wound through the heart of Rome. We stopped for dinner and Violet experienced a slight mishap. (More on that later). We then made our way to the Spanish Steps. We mingled with tourists from all over the world. After that we made our way over to the Trevi Fountain and expericned this with 1,000 of our closest new friends (aka other tourists). We cast our coins in the fountain to wish for a speedy return to Rome. Violet also made a wish to get good grades on her final report card! We hope to return to the Trevi for one final visit tomorrow night. We are headed to bed right now in preparation for our big tour day tomorrow. We will be visiting the Colesseum and the Vatican. Lots of good photos so far. Really hope that we can post some of them tomorrow. In search of stable Internet connection!

Ciao

Violet and Grace
