Took a morning walk over to Trevi Fountain. They were busy sweeping up the coins, so noone was allowed down next to the fountain yet.

From Trevi Fountain we made our way over to the Spanish Steps

Stopped for a bite and a caffiene fix at a little spot called Al 28 Bistrot. First time that communication was a challenge as the worker didn't speak much english and we don't speak much italian, but somehow we made it work with a little help from Google Translate

I'm not usually a big cappuccino drinker, but this one was really good.

Lunch today was at Sapori Di Roma. I had the gnocchi cacio e pepe while Julie tried the prosciutto pizza. I couldn't resist finishing off with a slice of tiramisu.

Wrapping up the day's adventures with a trip to the Vatican. Sadly, no photography is allowed within the Sistine Chapel. It's understandable but disappointing.

At this point, we were walking through the sculptures when I was asked if I knew who Tiberius was. My answer of "that's Captain Kirk's middle name" was met with an eye roll and maybe a pity chuckle.
