FSU*Noles 2006 Rome Geocoin #1

To travel here, there, and everywhere - in search of good friends and great adventures!

This 2006 Rome geocoin is being released into the wild, free to travel from cache to cache. It depicts two of the most famous landmarks in Rome, and indeed the world: the Colosseum (Coliseum), and the Trevi Fountain. Neither needs much explanation here, and they are just two of the countless reasons to visit the beautiful city of Rome.

I purchased this coin because I've been lucky enough to visit Italy twice in the past few years, and have wonderful memories of my time in Rome, Florence, and Pisa. Five of my first 30 cache finds ever were in Rome and Vatican City, back when I was first trying to figure out this whole geocaching thing! This coin reminds me of the great times we had and the friends we left behind, and I hope I can get back there again for another visit soon. Perhaps this coin can get there before me, but in the meantime, I'm hoping lots of people will get a chance to see and enjoy it. It's goal is simply to gather many miles, stories, and adventures as it travels - pictures are always welcome, and thanks for keeping it moving!
