This is one of the fountains on the piazza navona. They are all really gorgeous, and this area is really cool for a number of reasons...one of which is the fact that underneath it is an ancient roman stadium, the stadium of domitian (so we suspect). It's a cool blend of the old and the new. We went down to the ruins of the stadium, popped back up, took a coffee break, and then continued on our way to another area that is layered with old and new stuff, excavated in such a way as to show each layer..ancient, renaissance, new, etc..really sweet.
Then me and a few greek students got mind-spanked by our homework, and then my latin homework felt like a breeze. For dessert at dinner tonight there was the best ice cream i've ever had in my life.
hehehe. sorry.Tomorrow I can sleep in, and then we have a trip out. Then..it's friday night in Rome!
