I did throw a coin over my shoulder while looking west, so I'm definitely going back to Rome someday. And thanks to Josh's good advice, I used a non-Euro coin, so the government has to give it to some sort of charity!

Right after I took this picture I saw a family from Michigan, dragging their 7 year old daughter around in a "Roman Princess" costume in a scary green color taking pictures in front of all the most important parts of the Roman Forum. Poor kid.

This is the romantic spot in Florence (I read this in a book- I wouldn't really know, since I went by myself!)- apparantly guys take their girls there, lock the locks on the fence and throw the keys into the Arno.
