Hello everyone! Oh by the way, the Harry Potter post with probably have to wait until I get home because it's going to be freaking awesome! Anyway, today we woke up around 8:00, got ready, went down for breakfast at like 8:45, then headed to the Vatican! It's actually pretty close to our hotel so we just walked. Turns out Rick thought it would take longer so our appointment wasn't until 11:30 so we just walked around, tried to find an ATM and got gelato. We were sitting on these stairs and this guy came over and tried to sell us scarves because you aren't allowed into the Vatican (or certain parts) if your shoulders and knees aren't covered. We had brought cardigans or scarves so we kept saying no no we are good, we have stuff to cover. So then he went through us all and told us the parts of our body that were being immodest - uh thanks! Plus he came back like two more times and bugged us. We finally met up with the group and got in! We met up with our tour guide and got our headsets. We then walked through the museums, she told us about the Sistine Chapel because you can't talk inside. I had already been there so this was still cool but kinda blah at the same time. We walked through the gardens and the museums.
We walked through rooms painted by Raphael. We sat in the Sistine Chapel for a while. Sooo cool! We headed over to St. Peter's and I showed everyone the creepy popes lying in their see-through coffins. We walked around for a bit then we walked down by our hotel to find something to eat. We were wanting to eat at like 3:00-4:00 but everyone was only serving like pasta. We got two choices - ravioli or lasagna. I chose ravioli. We had some bread and water and some nasty salad. The ravioli was pretty good - they gave us three huge raviolis. The lasagna was good too. It turns out it was more expensive than we were expecting but oh well. We went back to the hotel and showered and took a little nap. We woke up and went downstairs for dinner. We had pasta, steak stew and peas, fries, and gelato. Yum! We then came upstairs and just hung out. Hope everyone had a wonderful day! See you soon! Loves!
