The Fountain of the Turtles! Can you see the turtles at the top of the fountain?

Eating pizza (of course!) on the Spanish Steps

All around Rome we saw "SPQR," which means Senatus Populus Que Romanus, and has the stamp of the government since ancient times!


We found the Cat Sanctuary. About 150-200 cats live here in these ancient ruins in the middle of the city. They are fed and taken care of. This is the site where Julius Caeser was killed.
