Up early…not likely. Today’s mission was the Spanish Steps, the Bourghese Gardens again the Gallery of Modern Art.  Unlike us we achieved all these, plus a little bit extra in the day.  The steps were high and long however they afforded a great view across the city.

A quick trip to the gardens and lunch (wine included) and a short walk to the Art Gallery where we saw Gustav Klimpt’s The three Ages of Women which we learnt about in one of our ADFAS lectures. We also saw some very interesting pieces of mud that was called art and a cow peeing. They were modern but I am unsure of whether, in my opinion, it was art.

Where you tie up your horse.  Wish I had one

We then thought about a taxi, but as Maria would say tiredness is not an illness and we decide to walk home.  We were rewarded with coming upon a huge square at the base of the Spanish steps and walked down a fabulous street of designer shops that I was glad to see Louise was too tired to go into them. The hardest part was battling through the crowds at the Trevi Fountain to get home.
