Well today I decided to go to the Trevi Fountain. I had always wanted to see King Triton sculpted beneath he water and it was amazing. The light shone on the water just perfectly while i was taking a photo and made this beautiful blue glow underneath the sculptures of Triton. Plus there was thunderstrom clouds in the back ground which contrasted the whiteness of the sculpture. It was great. A really good work of art that shows how talented people were back then. It is a great sculpture with the cherubs on top of the palace of Triton and the flying horses at the bottom. I used to spend ages in the library on rainy days looking at mythology books reading about them. I had no problem finding the place ( not just because it's a huge fountain in the middle of the city). But the people at the Dellle Nazioni Hotel were great with directions. You could tell that English was a second language but she gave good simple directions with landmarks to help me find my way to the fountain. I knew a little Italian to get by but using english was much better.
