Lights, camera...fountains!

Hello, you lucky people--I'm posting twice today, because the light was simply so spectacular today that I have to show off my photos. Made it to the Trevi Fountain today; it was interesting watching the crowds watch the fountain. I made a wish, but didn't actually throw a coin in; I couldn't get close enough. Will it still be granted?

It's my nature to compare, so I've made a list of some of the ways Rome has it over NYC, and NYC has it over Roma.

Ways Roma has it over NYC:
1) They are incredibly nice about letting you use the bathroom at any restaurant--they NEVER say no.
2) The light
3) The food (that counts for a lot)
4) The art
5) The drama
6) The beauty
7) The charm
8) The food is a bit cheaper, especially in markets (everything else is just as expensive or MORE expensive. Damn Euro!
9) La bella lingua italiana

Ways that NYC has it over Roma:
1) It's less polluted and quieter (really!)
2) The cultural scene: theater, film
3) My nephews
4) My friends (friends, don't be offended at being fourth on the list--I'm talking to you Nancy, if you're reading; this is in no particular order)
5) The intellectual stimulation
6) My wonderful apartment is in NYC--I miss it!
7) Phenomenal water pressure (the showers in Italy suck--excuse my Italian)
8) Lots of bookstores with books in English because I'M BORED WITH THE ONES I BROUGHT!
9) Ziplock baggies--the saran wrap in Italy is defective and the packages lack a serrated edge so it's impossible to rip it off the roll (I'll find anything to complain about)

Sono finito!
Buona sera!
