Up early on our second day in Roma, another beautiful day and much, much warmer (dare I say actually hot) than we expected. Here is Michelle on our street via Coronari which is part of the old town. It used to be the road the pilgrims would take to go to the Vatican. 
Took a picture of the window of this awesome looking butcher; Italians know good food. Would like to put that happy little piggy in my oven.
We were off to the Trevi Fountain. It was only just after 9:00am on a Saturday morning but there were already some of those pesky touristicos hanging about. Nevetheless, managed to get some nice shots.
Breakfast of café and croissant which cost us €15. Next day we did the same and costs us €14. Next day (Monday morning) did the same, cost us €5 – what!! First two days got ripped off in tourist cafés. Third day went to a normal local’s café and discovered what it really costs.
Anyway, after breakfast went to the Spanish Steps (as you do).
After walking up the Spanish Steps, we continued uphill and through the Borghese Gardens until we came across a fantastic view over the Piazza Di Popolo and the City.
Found a church, Santa Maria del Popolo, that had two Caravaggios in it. The Crucifixion of Saint Peter (1601) and the Conversion of Saint Paul on the Road to Damascus (1601). They were totally awesome to see in real life.
Obelisk in the Piazza di Popolo “Flaminio Obelisk” Dated from Ramses II 13C BCE. Brought to Rome in 10BC by command of Augustus. 24 metres high. It was rediscovered in 1587 amongst the Roman rubble (as you do), broken into three pieces.
