When in Rome......

Rome is great.

Food is amazing, the wine is delicious and the weather is exceptional. It has been such a priveledge seeing all this incredible architecture as well that has been so influential. I visited the Pantheon, the Colosseum, and many other significant buildings and sculptures yesterday. The Colosseum was great but I was most impressed by the Pantheon. Yesterday morning I woke up early in order to see the Pantheon without a crowd of annoying tourists in front... which was well worth it. Incredible to see such a large impressive building that has stood there for roughly 1800 years or so. Pictures are coming when I have a chance to upload them.

Today I visited the Vatican. We saw the Sistene Chapel, St. Peters Basillica and many amazing paintings and sculptures. Its a lot to take in. I will go further in depth when I have more time and pictures.

Tomorrow I see some more of Rome and then I am off to Florence.

Ciao
