Anyway, I have to go to class in 20 minutes but I might as well write something or I'm never going to finish writing about Italy.
After we were at the Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II, we headed for the Trevi Fountain. The Trevi Fountain was completed in 1762 and supposedly is a source of the purest water in Rome. We thought that you were supposed to make a wish and throw a coin into the fountain, but after I looked it up it says that if you throw a coin into the fountain you're ensured a return visit to Rome. Either way I'm happy with it because I made a good wish and I would love to come back to Rome.
We got to the fountain around 4:30 just when it was getting dark, so it looked beautiful lit up. There were loads of people there taking pictures and throwing coins into the fountain. After we all took individual pictures, I spotted a guy wearing a Villanova jacket and Erin went up to him and asked if he would take a group picture for us. He and his wife both graduated from Nova and his son went there and studied abroad in London. They were really nice and wished us luck and took our picture.
After that Sammie tried to take another individual picture of me on the side of the fountain, but the picture was interrupted when Vijay so rudely splashed me in the face with fountain water. I'm hoping it's good luck or something. I'm trying to be positive about having water splashed all over me.
I have to go to class now, but I'll continue this later.
