When in Rome...

...don't wear yourself out! As you've already read, today was a long and full day. I took lots and lots and a few more pictures, but I'm only going to post as many as I can with this weak internet connection we've managed to find. Crossing my fingers, the airport called the hotel and told them my luggage would be here tonight...probably in the middle of the night, but I've been waking up regularly at about 4 AM anyways...wide awake! That explains the two hour naps I've been taking.

Well, my favorite thing today was probably either the Colosseum or the Trevi Fountain. It was huge! Also, not on our schedule, we were dropped off for dinner right by the Aura Paccis (sp?), a large Marble sculpture dedicated to Ceasar Augustus. I remember studying all of these things in Art History...

Anyways, yesterdays visit to the Vatican Museums was amazing, and I can't believe the amount of art that is there. I could spend 2 or 3 days in there alone and not see everything. Crazy!

The people here on the trip are a lot of fun and are just the nicest people. I feel very lucky to be sharing the experience with all of them.

Okay, enough talking...here are some pictures:
