Roma...day 2

Day two started out with a complimentary breakfast from he hotel columbus. We had bread, bread, ham, cheese, and bread with a little coffee.

Immediately following breakfast, we went straight to the Vatican which was around 8 45 (for you scorekeepers at home). A short 2+ hours later we were in. The wait in line was made a little easier with the american friend that we made standing in line. Her name was Sara from WV. She is a curator at a museum in South Dakota here on business. Turns out 4 of the oldest instruments made by the worlds most famous instrument maker guy are at her museum.

We saw the School of Athens







and the Sistine Chapel among other countless pieces of art.







In addition we saw St. Peters Basilica, the Pantheon,









San Marco Statue, Piazza Novana and the night version of the Trevi Fountain.

A pretty well rounded day.

Everyone of them was a highlight.

Until tomorrow CIAO (CHOW)!
