The Pantheon, Trevi and A Few In Between

We only have a few days left in our Roman holiday and we still have a few things that need to be checked off our list before we go. Today we are dedicating ourselves to that list.
Lucky for us the rain decided to give us a break today but there was till this moisture in the arm that wasn't the most comfortable - especially for our hair! (Girls will be girls...)
Our first stop, and you may say that most important, was to get ourselves a coffee at the closest place possible. We hoped into this little café that sold EUR1 coffees - I should have ordered two or three at that price! We walked to the Spanish Steps, down a very chic shopping street that I forget the name of towards the Trevi Fountain for a quick snapshot of the two of us. The fountain marks the terminal point of the "modern" Acqua Vergine, the revived Aqua Virgo, one of the ancient aqueducts that supplied water to ancient Rome. It is today one of the most famous and beautiful fountains in the world. 

Then it was off to the Pantheon (a must-see on anyone's list). Built more than 1800 years ago as a temple for the pagan gods, the temple was converted into a church in 609. The Pantheon now contains the tombs of the famous artist Raphael and of several Italian Kings. Its ecclasiastic interior design contrast with the temple's structural design, but the marble floor - which features a design consisting of a series of geometric patterns - is still the ancient Roman original. The most remarkable part of the building is the more than 43 meter high some. It was the largest dome in the world until 1436 when the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence was constructed. Out of all the sights we've seen, I think this takes the top spot. It is magnificent and subtle at the same time, it is a wonderfully designed building and had a feeling of tranquility inside even though there are hundreds of people surrounding you. 
Our tour ended with a walk through the famous Piazzas (Navona and Flori) and then an early dinner at, yet again, our most-loved pizzeria in Trastevere. We really can't get enough.
Tomorrow is our last day in Rome and we have a trip to the Catacombs planned. 

Thinking of you all back at home!
