Rome..

We decided to take advantage of a free walling tour in Rome. Free comes with an expectation of a tip, but for 5 euro it is ace. This area is full of cobblestones and windows with Venetian shutters.
The starting point. Every year the Pope climbs up this (aided somewhat by a Crane) and puts a new wreath up.
The Spanish steps.
The Trevi fountain. Under renovation. People throw coins in it for good luck. In peak tourist season it can get 3,000 to 5,000 euros.
Rome is amazing.
This is where Julius Caesar was stabbed. It seems surreal to be in a place like this.
When Michelle and I are awake we will remember what this place is called. The city is a sensory overload.
And at the end of the street is this place. I believe it was an early prototype for the MCG.
