After a brief walk around the interior of the Pantheon (what an
awesome building), we headed for Trevi Fountain, where we all
threw coins in the fountain. That is supposed to guarantee a
return to Rome. The kids all threw two coins each, which means
they will get married in Rome.
We stopped for ice cream and then dragged the kids another mile
through the Roman Forum to see the Colliseum. There we relented and
took a taxi back to the Vatican to wait for the tour bus.
We ate more ice cream and waited until it was time for the 90
minute ride back to the ship.
