There are people everywhere! Today we went to the Pantheon (with a giant oculus at the top, open to the sky-a choir was singing and the acoustics were amazing!), Sant'Ignazio (church of St. Ignatius-the ceiling is flat, but painted to look curved!!) the Fontana de Trevi (a famous fountain that is part of a lot of movies-sadly it was closed for renovations today), and some obelisks.
What I learned today:
The Romans were obsessed with Egyptian things. They hauled an entire pyramid over from Egypt just because.
Facts of the day:
Our taxi driver was named Mario.
There are 13 Egyptian obelisks around Rome. We saw 2 today.
