Rome 2018 (Second Visit): Final Day, Part 1

On our final day in Rome we decided to do one last tour of the city on foot and revisit places we had seen during our first stay. We started again at the Spanish Steps. Unlike our previous time in Rome, the sun was piercing through the clouds and the colors of the buildings around the steps were really coming out. Better weather of course meant that the tourist crowds were back again, and there were a lot of people out and about the city that day. We came down the steps to the piazza with the Barcaccia Fountain, from which you can actually see all the way up the street to the obelisk of Piazza del Popolo. We then started moving west towards the Tiber River, stopping at a convenience store along the way to buy some sandwiches for lunch.
