Rome has been great. Except for the heat. Its been over 100 degrees and I have a crazy heat rash all over from walking around and getting so hot. But I have seen some awesome things, so I guess its all worth it. Yesterday I explored the ancient city. First Palatine Hill, which is just the ruins of the city. Then over to the colluseum. Its crazy to see that stuff, and think about how old it is and how those people used to live. Today I went to Vatican City, and walked through all the museums. The artwork in there is absolutely amazing. I kept getting yelled at for taking pictures. But how could I go to the Sistine Chapel and not take pictures? I wish I could have gone to St Peters Basilica, but the line was insanely long and I just couldn't stand the heat for a few more hours. So I walked around by my hostel and found a farmers market and a bunch of street vendors. I bought some tortellini from an old Italian women who rolled them while I waited, and they were they most delicious thing I've ever tasted.
Tomorrow I leave and head to Milan for a few hours, then catch another train to Nice. I had planned on going straight to Barcelona but all the trains were booked. At least now I'll get a taste of the French Riviera too. Not a bad deal.
