Return Ticket to Rome

Italy : Rome, Vatican
Autumn 2016

Coin throwing in Trevi Fountain on a third visit to Rome
(Nov-2016)

Journal Entry... Who would have thought throwing a coin in the Trevi Fountain did prove true to the legend of ensuring a return ticket to Rome. My first coin throwing, in 2011, brought me back to Rome in 2015; my second coin throwing, in 2015, brought me back to Rome in 2016. For a third time, I planted a kiss on my 10-Philippine coin, for luck, and threw it in the Trevi Fountain [Tip: right hand over left shoulder], crossing my fingers I'd get another return ticket to Rome. 

Crossing Over to the Holy See

Vatican City

Two cities caught in a snap from the Cupola at the Vatican
(Jan-2011)

Journal Entry... Sun was up amidst the cold of winter that Tuesday morning. It was one fine day for a walk to Vatican City, a mere bridge away from Rome.
