Today was filled with walking, information, and art of all kinds. This morning we woke up and the wifi even worked in our rooms which was a huge change from our location in London. At our hotel we had breakfast which was filled with all kinds of Italian pastries, fruit, and any kind of coffe you would want. Italy also seem to be a huge Nutella fans so that is a major plus. Then we hoped on the metro and headed to the Vatican. Basically the Vatican has 12 museums the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Cathedrial that we visited. Each mesum is filled with art, sculptures, tapestry, and paintings covering the cealing. Each day over 25,000 visitors come to visit the Vatican sometimes reaching close to 50,000. There are actually only about 800 residents including the Pope. It would take hours for me to attempt to explain half of the things we saw there so instead I'm going to post just some of the million pictures I have. This afternoon we fianally took a break and napped for a few hours before heading to pizza and gellato for dinner. Which I can easily say gellato will become an addiction hard to break when we leave. Tomorrow we have another day in Rome at the Colosseum.
