Our fist morning in Rome

We started off by walking around the city a bit and looking at the sights after getting a cab into the city. The cool thing is around any corner could be a fountain sculpted by Bernini or a paizzi (a city square). And on the fist morning that is what happened. We came across some Roman ruins and then found a Bernini fountain in the middle of Barberini paizzi. (we spent a lot of time in Barberini paizzi because this is where our shuttle bus dropped us and picked us up from the hotel). We were consulting a map of course but where not watching it too close so when we came upon the Spanish Steps, which we had seen the night before on our tour, we were pleased. It was fun looking over the rooftops and seeing all the gardens on them. We where making our way towards the Bourghese Park and in it the Bourghese Gallery.
