Rome has treated us incredibly well so far. The first day we were here we were able to see the vatican and walk around the downtown district for a while. Ireland-England-Scotland were all really fantastic, however i think we all found it refreshing to be in a culture which truly seems unique and it has been a nice change of pace for us all. Yesterday we were able to go to all of the older roman sites like the colloseum and the forum, as most of the rest of the city was shut down for sunday (the city was filled wth the sound of bells for most of the afternoon).
Now, after we're done checking our e-mail and posting on the blog we're headed off to see the sistine chapel and the other vatican museums around the city. We've taken lots of photos so far, and once we find a good internet cafe we'll be sure to upload them all for people to see. It's also been nice having Nick here along with us and to have someone new to share all of the experiences with us. After Roma, it's off to Venice for the art biennalle there, which i'm looking forward to a great deal. We were able to see one of the modern art museums yesterday which had some exciting stuff in it, and i can't wait to see what the other city has to offer. Love you and miss you all!
