This was the 4th time I was in Rome but the first time I saw the Spanish steps. First I bought two great pairs of earrings at the top, and I love earrings so that was cool. It was a beautiful day and people were hanging out on the steps everywhere. They are pretty, they are FREE, ok thats important when you are on a budget. I had read a warning tip on VT about the "old lady beggars" and I couldn't believe it. Kneeling about 1/2 down the steps was a head down praying, with a cup of course, begging old lady. Then she got up, took her cane, barely able to walk, let alone climb steps, and hobbled up the stairs with her cup held out. I looked at "her" hands and they looked like my 16 year olds and i looked at her feet under her long garb and they were tennis shoes. She had a scarf covering her face except for her eyes. If you couldn't walk would you really choose the Spanish steps as your preferred begging place? I really wanted "her" picture but I lost my nerve so here are the Spanish steps in general instead.

Thanks. Your first picture on your HP sure looks better than the weather here. Bad fog and frost. All the best! | cleocat Wed Oct 25, 2006 21:13 UTC
I like the tip on the airport 'hotel" Christina threw a coin in the Trevi fountain for me so I'm sure I'll get there one day. | BerniShand Sat Jul 22, 2006 05:45 UTC

We had a near "twin" incident in Rome with a rude, "cheating" waiter...after that, we made sure we never ate close to St. Peter's. Some helpful tips with a touch of humor; very fun reading. |
