Okay guys, this is probably my last upload from Rome since I am flying back tomorrow morning and tonight I am just chilling out with my Italian friends. I think you'll like these pictures from my walk early this morning -- I had a great time taking pictures since hardly anyone else was up that early.

I started off at the Trevi Fountain which is about 2 minutes walk from my hotel. The legend goes that if you throw a coin over your shoulder into the fountain that you'll be granted your wish of coming back to Rome in the future.


I then headed towards the Pantheon -- the world's oldest functioning building. It is also conveniently located in front of a McDonald's.


After firing off a few shots of the Pantheon I headed to Piazza Navona. I was disappointed to discover the main fountain covered in scaffolding and undergoing maintenance. The fountain of Neptune still looked good though.


Finally, before heading back to the hotel I stopped at a cafe by the Pantheon to have a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. I am glad I did because I was able to capture a great shot -- my favorite of the day.


Ciao!
