AT TREVI FOUNTAIN

Pat Woods at the Trevi fountain. She heard that if you throw in a coin, you will be blessed and return quickly to Rome. If you throw in four coins, you will return with a new lover. This belief system has been subjected to rigorous scientific testing and found to be accurate.

This is why Chippie threw in a handful of coins.Or more.

Now I've learned that the coins are used to aid the poor people of Rome. (And I thought that task was served by all the tourists who are pick-pocketed. In our group of 22, one person was "dipped" on the subway. The rest of us then learned to be cautious.)

I know you're wondering who is that person sitting there in a heavy winter coat? We don't know, but since the temps were in the 70's that day, we can only assume it's someone from the South.
