ROMA, ITALIA

Our trip to Italy was an amazing one. One of our favourite parts was the food. In Rome, we were located near Cavour metro, a stone's throw from the Colosseum one way, and the Forum in the other direction. We found every fountain we could, walked miles, even lost each other temporarily, only to meet again on the final visit to the Spanish steps and my favourite Sinking Boat fountain by Bernini the Sr. We splurged on Fettucine at Alfredo's with the house wine, and were not disappointed, but, even down to the daily cappuccino and cornetto (italian for croissant), everything was amazing!
