happy new year!

We spent the new year wandering through the piazzas of rome. Incredible, to say the least. People just throw firecrackers in the streets, and you had to make sure the open walkways are open, not vacated due to impending explosives. We got some hot chestnuts and some pizza, and headed to piazza spagna for the countdown. The spanish steps were packed like sardines, with the exception of a few small areas for fireworks and around the fountain. At the start of the new year, they sprayed champage everywhere, and we found out why the center of the piazza was empty. People started chucking bottles in, and you couldnt even hear them break over all the din. It was pretty fab.
