The existence of water makes a big difference to architecture/art. I don't really know or care what the characters are, but I admired the features and creatures behind the fountain with the sound of waterfall.
There are many shops and restaurants around the fountain. I ate piece of pizza...real cheap and delicious!
Spending 5 days in Rome, I visited new places too. I wanted to spend a day in the Museum of Borghese, but the day I went, it was closed. The next day I went, it was so crowded, and I failed to acquire a ticket. The two days did not end with disappointment but full days of discovery.
The museum is located in Villa Borghese, which is a very big green park. I resembled it as the Central Park in New York City. I wandered at the park. The air, weather and sunshine was just perfect.
I sat down in an area, enjoying the day, and a young woman came to me. She started talking to me in Italian. Then, she realized me not understanding a word, and she started to speak English. She asked, "where is your dog?"
"I don't have a dog."
"Why are you sitting at a dog park? You must be a tourist!"
I told her that I was from Honolulu, and she shared her fun experience with me in Maui. Also, she told me a secret gem to visit in Rome.
It was an area at Via Dora. Francesca said it has special buildings, like those in a fairy tale. I followed her instruction and went, yet those buildings were just newer buildings (compare to others in the historic center) like a lot you can find in Chicago or the Midwest in the U.S. However, because I was in a local residential area, I visited a local supermarket, and got a lot of goodies!
Life does not end with disappointment, when I dare to look around and explore outside the box for the blessings.
