ABC Wednesday—E is for "empty"

It is possible to enjoy the Piazza di Spagna
and the Spanish Steps and view of
Trinita dei Monti up above without the
hordes that are usually found there.  All you
have to do is get up at dawn.

abc wednesday - U is for "umbrella"

A rainy day in Rome:  In this crowd

at the foot of the Spanish Steps, taking

photos of each other and Bernini's Fontana

della Barcaccia in the Piazza di Spagna, I

count nine pinwheel-design umbrellas.

Do you suppose they were all 

staying at the same hotel?
