Rome - Trevi Fountain - Roman Forum - Palantine

We moved out a little more slowly this morning as the celebrations for Republic Day were going on and there were crowds and streets blocked off and marching and shouting and jets flying - it was all happening.
First we walked to the Trevi Fountain - a very popular place. We finally found a spot where we could throw our coins in the fountain ensuring our return to Rome one day.
After lunch we walked to the Roman Forum and the Palantine (palace) and explored that area for a couple of hours. It is really overwhelming how huge and grand these places must have been. It can be difficult to comprehend at times.
Afterwards we needed gelato and a rest before getting supplies for an antipasta style dinner in our room.
