Once
again, we traveled to Rome. We spent one last evening (Day
Six) here revisiting the sites from our bus (but
this time at night with all the beautiful monuments displayed
by yellow lights) and having one last four-course dinner in
Italy.
Of
course, we had to stop at the famous Trevi Fountain to throw
in a coin and make our wish. Legend has it that if you throw
a coin into this fountain, your wish will most definitely
come true. However, you can only make one wish -- To Return
to Rome someday. The precise tradition calls for you to throw
the coin over your left shoulder while standing with your
back to the Trevi Fountain.
They say that tens of thousands of people visit the fountain
every day to throw a coin into the water. Needless to say,
the fountain has to be cleaned out several times a week. Most
of the money from the fountain is distributed to three children's
charities. |
