Our first stop when we left our little apartment this morning was the local caffe for a capuchino for me and tea for Bruce. We also split a delicious fruit filled croissant.
What’s a visit to Rome without seeing the Vatican. I know I was pushing the envelope with Bruce making him go- for him it was like me going to his gun and knife shows. After the first two rooms I could see religious art was not his thing. Not to mention that we got lost getting there and ran through the streets in a down pour. We were soaked and late for our scheduled ticket time but they let us in anyway.
The main reason I wanted to go to the Vatican was to see the Sistine Chapel. I wasn’t disappointed. When we were in the chapel a priest was saying prayers. I could feel the spirit in this room. They do not allow photos to be taken while in the chapel, and although some people did not honor this rule, I felt compelled to just by the power of the room.
The exit ramp from the Vatican Museum was quite interesting and would not be a good exit route for someone with vertigo.
Later in the evening we went to Trevi Fountain – we took pictures of a fountain earlier in the day thinking that was Trevi Fountain but when I looked up on line a picture I realized we went to the wrong place.
After the fountain we found a quiet little restaurant to eat at and had bruschetta, lasagna and tiramisu for dessert.
Tomorrow is a long day – we leave for the airport at 4:30 and head back to the USA
