Our first stop. (Rome, Italy)

Palazzo Barberini and Fontana del Tritone (Triton Fountain).  Not only was this palazzo and fountain very close to our hotel, I had requested it as a first stop because of the bees.  Yes bees.  Gian Bernini "is the artist who probably left the strongest personal mark on the appearance of the city of the Rome."  Bernini designed this fountain, and placed bees (the crest of the Barberini family) all over the fountain.

Look closely...see the bees?
