Monday, May 3rd, we went to Vatican City! We had reserved a tour ahead of time which proved to be a great idea. The Vatican museum had been closed the previous two days so the normal 20,000 guests the Vatican sees was estimated to be around 50,000 that day. It was packed. The Vatican museum was okay and our guide was boring, but we saw the Sistine Chapel!!! It was gorgeous. I can see how this one became so famous. After that, we went into the largest Cathedral in the WORLD. St. Peter’s Basilica was incredible. I was definitely awestruck.
After the Vatican tour we went on the quest for a cute Italian meal and we found it. We walked through the winding streets and came upon a little restaurant with outside seating. Perfect! Everywhere we looked was the essence of Italy. (Little streets with houses butted up against each other, street performers, artists, and just the feeling of Italy) We spent the perfect last night in Italy and even saw the Trevi fountain all lit up at night. I could not have asked for a better Italy experience. Good food, good wine, good conversation all shared with a great friend! J
