January 30

This was supposed to be the day of the scavenger hunt, in which we would ideally traverse the city in groups to see who could take a group picture at the most sites/landmarks. However, I had walked over 30,000 steps, the most I have ever recorded. To put that in perspective, the goal is always 10,000. I hadn't achieved that until the first day of my trip on my journey to (and throughout) the airport.

But today, many of us were tired. We managed to make our way to a couple of the sites, the most notable being the Trevi Fountain (where we tossed our coins in and made wishes of course) and Piazza Spagna, which is unfortunately under construction.

Photo: As the caption on the photo notes, I checked the Trevi Fountain off of my list of places to see. This definitely doesn't mean that I'm not going back.

Spoiler:
We didn't win the scavenger hunt.
