Sightseeing trip to Rome: the ancient and fascinating beauty of Italy
Whether we get a map when leaving the airport, but we still take some time to find a way back to the hotel was set in advance. By a simple thing that the Italians hardly speak English or French. Hotel Lirico is finally out before our eyes. This hotel (cheap hotel) is located at No. 31 on the Del Viminale beautiful city. I have seen and read the contents of any book Hotel Reservations before going out each city. Because in this city, I'm very strange, no one knows anymore.
We remember the feeling when first entering the hotel and was startled to hear the happy receptionist replied smiling, "CIAO". It turns out that greeting in Italian, but the pronunciation is identical to the sentence "Chao" in Vietnamese of us.
Ancient Rome was built on seven hills adjacent to each other so called "city of seven hills." In the city of ancient buildings such as square, "Piazza di Spagna", "Piazza del Popolo", "Piazza della República", ..., churches such as: "Eglise San Anastasia" ... the palace, arena beasts: "Amphitheatre Colloseo" ...
Ancient monuments boat Saint Peter built 1672
the theater: "Teatro Marcello", "Teatro dell'Opera" ... god shrines, ancient fortress, the statue: "Fori di Cesare, Fori de Nerva", sprinklers: "Fontana di Trevo" ...
We feel like we're in a huge museum, so majestic! Sometimes we imagine if there is no cross traffic, no other modern consumer goods sold in the glass booth, we will forget we are now living in the 21st century.
Glorious history of ancient Rome, but I only know through the pages, now appears as a slow motion footage. Bright yellow sun, we walk together on the ancient streets, looking at scenery, the forum pigeons flying around and the colorful costumes of the people here like to paint more for beauty and romance of Italy.
Spanish Square "Piazza di Spagna", this is a tourist center squares of Rome, has always attracted the most visitors. In this place, the house is the pink house of the second anniversary of the famous British poet, namely: John Keast Bysche and Percy Shelley. In 1672, crew neck fountains designed by the St. Petro was built facing the square and the Spanish called "boat of heaven." On Roman pillar near the boat sculpture heaven many characters in the Bible. Every year at Christmas, where the operation took place the solemn ceremony of the Church.
Another thing to do for us is incredibly fun to enjoy the famous dishes of the Italian "spaghetti", "Piazza cake" .... The first evening we sat under the eaves of a beautiful restaurant end lovely small streets, fresh air, Rome is magical power in the shimmering light. Excited, we chose tuna pasta mix, food will be great when we drink the wine.
But in Vietnam our country, women rarely drink alcohol, drink only during special occasions such as birthdays, festivals .... At that time, we'll drink a little wine or beer with our husband or friends only. So the dish is too sour and we had to make every effort, a very happy anniversary and memorable!
Night before leaving Rome, we walked out to visit the famous fountain "Fontana di Trevi." I did drop a coin down the custom in the hope that someday will be back to Rome, the land beautiful and fascinating as the people here. By Nguyet Anh
