Best Cappuccino Ever?

2nd full day in Rome. It was time to see all the stuff we missed on our first day which was surprisingly quite a lot. The Indian guys we stayed with told us about this great walking path that went by everything we needed to see. Jessie and I slept in a little as we were both up late and she was up til 4 giving photography lessons. We hopped on the bus and headed towards Piazza de Popolo (the people's square) and took some pictures from there onto the Spanish Steps, lunch, and the Trevi fountain. All of these we beautiful and we each threw a coin in the Trevi to bring us back to Rome some day. I could not believe the size of the fountain, it was huge, you could not even get the whole thing in one picture. From there we went to the Pantheon , it is huge and so perfectly built. The building was in great shape and I can't believe they were able to build it how they did 1700 years ago - simply amazing. From there the square with the 4 rivers fountain. Jessie had a heyday taking photographs from all different angles. We then decided it was time for a bathroom break and a rest. Of course to use the bathroom in Rome you have to buy something and sit at a cafe. We were wandering around and found a cute bar in an alley. We each ordered a cappuccino and throughly enjoyed it. They were absolutely wonderful, strong enough for our tastes and they even did the cute little leaf on top (had to take pictures). We then just wandered around the area and hit a few more smaller sights on the walk. TAking the bus home that night was a nighmare. We waited 30 minutes then the bus driver drove right past us, we were angry to say the least. We walked to the next stop and 10 miuntes later another one comes by and we make it back safe and sound. That night we just chilled in the hostel and had leftovers from the past 2 nights for dinner. Catacombs with a Kiwi tomorrow!
