We arrived Friday morning, found where we were staying, and then headed off to the Vatican. We went into the Vatican museum where we saw so many amazing works, including Raphael and Michaelangelo! At the end of the line is the Sistine Chapel where the famous Creation of Man painting is on the ceiling. It was so beautiful; everything was so detailed and extravagant. We then made our way to St. Peter's Basilica but were turned away. So the next morning we headed back to the Vatican early to enter the church, and then we made our way around the city. We saw the Medici Villa, the Republic Plaza, the Colosseum, Arch of Titus, Trajan's Column, the Pantheon, and Trevi Fountain. I also made sure to try my share of Italian coffee and gelato! The gelato was actually not as good as I would have hoped (I heard Florence's gelato is so much better) but the coffee definitely made up for it.
Here are some pictures. Coming soon--the Queen and my extended travel weekend adventures!
Love you all!! ♥♥♥
