Running Shoes and Gym Shorts in the Fashion Capital of the World? I think YES

This morning I woke up early to skype friends from home and then got my day going quickly because I needed to get going to the school bookstore which is located near the Spanish steps and then to class my 2:15.  I ate a quick breakfast, put on my running shoes, and headed off to the Spanish steps.  The weather was gorgeous and the entire city was filled with people everywhere and tour busses in every direction all speaking a different language.  In order to get to the Spanish steps I walk down my street called Via Greggorio and then cut through Saint Peters square and walk down the river two bridges and then cross the street.  From there I make a couple of left and rights and then arrive at the Spanish steps also known as Piazza di Spagna.  There were people everywhere going in and out of all of the designer stores.  I quickly realized I was in the fashion capital of the world.  And well, I was wearing running shoes and gym shorts.  Typical.  After I got my books, which was a mistake I should of done that last because two of them were really heavy I window shopped a little and just walked around.  I walked to the top of the Spanish steps and went inside the Church of the Trinity.  I haven’t done too much research yet on the history of the Spanish steps but I would like to do more.  I am getting ready for my day tomorrow though because I need to be up at 5:30 am and I have a midterm on Tuesday that I need to begin studying for.

Pictures At the Top:  I decided to bring my camera along today so I just snapped a few shots on my walk.  The Prada store is just an example of all of the designer stores.  The next is a massive senate building that I passed. The next picture is just along the river that I thought was really pretty.  The last one at the top is a picture of the book store I had to go to.  It was called Angelo American Book store.

Pictures at the Bottom:  A picture of me on the Spanish Steps and  picture of me on my walk to school with the Vatican in the back round.
