This morning we hit the road early in an attempt to beat the lines at the Vatican Museum, which we were fairly successful at doing. Here are some of the highlights of our visit with our added commentary: free of charge.
Crappy chariot: we were wondering why no one was in this room and realized the answer when we noticed the only original part of the chariot was the little green around the edge.
Painting titled, "Strange Bird Contemplating Doom of Man," depression, much?
Creepy Pope...
Creepy Pope...
Creepy dead Pope...
But with all of our sightseeing and traveling here and there the best part of the evening by far was after the day was over. We got back to the room having walked straight from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, straight. (Ok we sat for 30 minutes at dinner). Our entire body ached and we just wanted a bath. We knew that as soon as we sat down we weren't going out for dinner so we made our own Italian dinner and a movie!
We found a website to stream "Roman Holiday," which neither of us had seen before. (Crappy ending, I think, but that's just me). It was fun to sit and point out all the places in the movie we had been earlier that day.

Jennifer's "Italian family" has this for dinner alot of nights apparently: bread,
salami, pecorino cheese, and grapes (the grapes were our addition). And it was fantastic! Tomorrow Jennifer and I go our separate ways. I'm heading to the UK to see England, Ireland, and Scotland, and she's heading back to her "Italian family" for another week. "What about us?... Well, we'll always have Rome."
