Ciao from  Rome

Well our great adventure has wound down. Yesterday we took another trip to the Vatican, and the Vatican museum only standing in line for 25 minutes to get in. Then off we went to see the Sistine Chapel ....Oh! you guys there were so many people we were packed like sardines only upright shuffling along in little tiny steps....I wanted to throw up, it was so hot. I kept thinking we sure did our penance ...It was almost impossible to see anything except the persons beside behind in front or back...What a joke Ha! Ha! Ha!  We treated ourselves to a big meal and two glasses of wine each Ha! Today we headed out around 9 am for the St. Maria d. Angeli Church next the Baths of Diocletian's and the National Museum of Rome all in the same area...about a hours walk in 78 degree temps...the Church was cool mmmm! and hardly anyone in it, the Baths...Ha! well they were in ruins :) the Museum was also cool and oh so beautiful, and hardly anyone there...we loved it all. On the way home we stopped at our favorite restaurant and had overpriced tossed salad @ 7.50 euro (you heard me) and we shared a lovely pizza and a bottle of mineral water...then back to our Hotel which was once more staked out by protesters...and would you believe 4 hours later they are still chanting, shouting and in general getting on my nerves....OK here we are back at the Hotel from a walk about...we brought back a lovely Italian Pastry filled with raisins and ???and pine nuts on top...mmmm! and a bottle of nice cold wine would you believe the protesters are still at it...well folks thats about it  over and out for now
