This morning we traveled to Florence via the train, and what a cool quaint little city! We haven't done a whole lot yet, but supposedly the gelato here is amazing.
But to finish up the Rome portion of our trip, we went to Campo di Flori which was a really cool open vegetable and fruit market, then stopped at got some pizza, before making our way to the Vatican museum to see the Sistine Chapel. We then got to know our fellow Italians quite well by cramming a ton of people into one of the tiny little short electric buses in order to get to dinner. Which was an interesting affair since no one in the restaurant spoke any English.
Then I met a really cool study abroad student from the states while eating more of that oh so yummy gelato, and wandered around the city in one last tour of Rome of all the monuments at night, and completely empty of people. Seeing the Vatican at night is amazing, and visiting the Spanish steps completely devoid of people was really cool when contrasted with the huge masses of people the first afternoon we went there.
European trains are also really cool, it was a great way to travel, we really need to get these things in the US!
Oh, and the photo count is now up to 700.
