HELLO! NAMASTEY! CIAO! RECENTLY, I WAS ON A DREAM VACATION TO ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES ON EARTH...THE HOME OF THE COLOSSEUM, AND FOOD ITEMS LIKE PIZZA AND PASTA...THE ONE AND ONLY ITALY!!! I PERSONALLY LOVED ITALY LIKE ANYTHING...ITS FOOD, CULTURE, ARCHITECTURE, PEOPLE, FASHION AND EVEN THEIR CUTE DOGS AND PUPPIES! BUT, THERE WAS ONE SUCH PLACE WHICH ME AND MY FRIENDS WERE PERSONALLY FOND OF...IT WAS THE TREVI FOUNTAIN, OR AS I MAY CALL IT, FONTANA DI TREVI, IN ROME. IT IS THIS MASSIVE MARBLE STRUCTURE, AS YOU CAN SEE, AND THERE IS COLD WATER GUSHING OUT OF THE FOUNTAIN...DURING THE EVENINGS, THEY LIGHT UP THE WATER AND THE STATUES SO WE CAN SEE IT MORE CLEARLY. BUT, WHAT A VIEW! ANCIENT, PURE, WHITE MARBLE STATUES DEPICTING THE ROMAN COLONIAL PERIOD...NOT ONE SIGN OF AGEING IS SEEN ON THE MARBLE STONE...EVEN TODAY, IT IS AS WHITE AS SNOW. THIS FOUNTAIN IS ALSO THE WISHING WELL FOR THE SPECTATORS...ITS SIMPLE, YOU SIT ON THE EDGE, TAKE A COIN, MAKE A WISH, AND THROW IT AT THE BACK WHERE IT WILL FALL IN THE WATER. AND THE LOCALS SAY, THAT IF YOU DO THIS, YOUR WISH MAY COME TRUE! AND THE BEST PART IS, THAT WHATEVER MONEY IS FISHED OUT OF THE WATER, IS DONATED TO NUMEROUS NGO'S FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE PEOPLE! SO BASICALLY, IT'S A WIN WIN SITUATION FOR ALL. I WISHED TWO THINGS THAT DAY, WHAT THEY ARE, I WON'T TELL. BUT I AM SURE, THAT IF NOT GOD, IT WILL BE MY HOPES AND ASPIRATIONS THAT WILL TAKE ME BACK TO WHERE I LEFT MY HEART...ITALY!!!
