as we drive away from rome towards pompeii it is amazing to think about all we have seen and experienced in rome. the vatican museum along with the sistine chapel and st. peters were amazing. the paintings and sculptures were simply breathtaking especially considering when they were created. we then had a fabulous dinner before the hotel. earlier in the day we spent some time in the city walking around seeing some ruins and beautiful plazas. we also went to the trevi fountain where many took advantage of the superstition of throwing in coins to return to rome find true love or get a divorce. its an interesting progressionof throwing in coins to say the least. we also dealt with a few desaparecidos throughout the day but they returned to us one way or another.
the day before we saw the colosseum the pantheon the forum and many ruins left from that time period. most were intrigued about the vestal virgins and their role in society and i i personally enjoyed the language roots of the colosseum and the legend of the founding of rome. it was definitely an educational day. we shall have to see what awaits us in pompeii.
it has been a good tho long trip and it is hard to believe we are headed home in two days. hopefully everthing goes smoothly from here on out. ciao bella roma...
