With today being out last day in Italy, we got in our "last" everything: our last monuments, our last balsamic vinaigrette and bread craving, our last gelato--although Kristi skipped this gelato and I had two cones, typical. We woke up kind of early today, although we didn't have any place to be, but we also didn't want to sleep away our last day in Italy.
Our waiter gave us regular croissants this morning, which wasn't cool. We've been getting chocolate or jelly filled for the past two days; we were spoiled. We were laughing though, because for breakfast, we eat a croissant and two slices of bread with jam... Breakfast of Italian champions, I guess.
We took new and different streets, just to explore, to get to the Trevi Fountain. We each threw in two coins (right hand over left shoulder, as the tradition goes): one means that we'll return to Rome and two means that we'll find love. We then headed to the Spanish Steps and then to the Pantheon for photos. We went back to a little piazza where we are dinner and happened upon a Sunday market. We explored the market and then just walked around, ducking in and our of shops, getting lost and discovering new fountains and ruins throughout the city.
For dinner, we followed our noses and ate at a snack bar (this was actually on accident), but the food was delicious!! It was the first time this trip, I'm ashamed to say, that I got fish! We finished up the night with packing our suitcases. As much as we've loved Italy and don't want to say goodbye, we're so ready to be home with our families, in our own beds, where we don't have to use outlet converters and can wash (and dry) our clothes and where bread isn't a meal. It's been a fun two weeks. We've had highs and lows, hot and cold days, but it has been an adventure neither of us (or our parents, I'm sure) will forget. Italy stole our hearts, but our home will always be with the people we love the most!
