We're in Rome! It's just gorgeous. Everything is so old and historic yet functioning as a bustling city. Today we visited the fontana di trevi, where you throw a coin over your shoulder and make a wish. We also visited the colloseum and went into Santa Maria degli Angeli. This church had paintings by Michelangelo in it. It gave us a little taste of what to expect from the Sistine Chapel (tomorrow). One of my favorite parts of visiting the Santa Maria degli Angeli was watching the expressions on the other visitors' faces. We would go so far to say the interior of the church rivaled Notre Dame's interior. We also visited the Pantheon. Everywhere you look there is something historic! On continuing our way to the Colosseum we unfortunately encountered some rain (around 4 o'clock). We will pick up again tomorrow at the Vatican, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's.
