Rome's beloved Trevi Fountain is drained and covered with scaffolding. But so many people come to Rome to do the fabled "coin toss over your shoulder to guarantee a return to the Eternal City" that the city has provided a small temporary pool...which, I'm sure, has the same magical powers.
When we travel, we need to celebrate the fact that 10 percent of what we're going so far to see will be closed or out of sight for restoration.
