vino, gelato and the sistine chapel.

after waking up in a hostel that i wasn't to excited about... i spent an incredible day exploring rome.

this is for ashley- upon arrival last night... after realizing i was in a trashy hostel, i went across the street, ate a plate of pasta, drank a glass of wine... and started walking to the colessium. on the way i ate pizza and gelato. i was feeling better about the whole situation, and now i am sure that the colessium looks really good lit up at night.


so today- i walked from 9:30 this morning until 6 o'clock tonight when i finally sat down to eat. (i had some pizza in the plaza in front of st. peter's.) my primary destination was the sistine chapel. on the way...

teatro dell opera
san carlo quattro fontane
fontana trevi
the pantheon
piazza navona
ponte sant angelica
st. peter's basilica
- michelangelo's pieta
the vatican museums
-sistine chapel twice

on the way back to my hostel... i went to the colessium and the forums... the sun was setting so i couldn't go in... but it was spectacular, and i still have a couple days.

i just keep laughing at how crazy and amazing it is to be here.
