Grace and Fondo @ Trevi Fountain

As we were rounding the corner of the street leading to the Fountain
we could here the water and, I said to Grace, "Wait till you see this".

I don't know why any guide book would only allocate 15 min for this
gem. Once you move from the upper level to the Fountain's edge you
really get taken in by the sound of the water and the murmur of the
crowd. Some of the stones are carved into ocean plant life and the
bottom portion is made to look like it is growing out of the building
behind it.

You get interrupted by the occasional whistle from the police telling
people to get off of the rocks. For me it was getting pelted by coins
thrown from the upper level by Chinese women with bad aim, and then
being asked to throw the coins in for them ....
