Today!

We got to sleep in today!! I LOVE sleep! We walked to the Vatican to ascend it. Yes I mean the whole thing. It took an elevator and 320 steps to get to the VERY TOP of the dome overlooking Rome, and Im telling you it gets CRAMPED! the walls are all going sideways and its all crazy and makes you dizzy :P Before you get to the very top you get to go inside the dome within St Peters, so you get to look down on what now appears to be a very small baldicino (the big square thing with 4 pillars which goes over the main altar). Enough to make you pretty woozy!

After we got back to ground level we went to the Bronze Doors where the Swiss Guard (I almost said Praetorian Guard.. sheesh lol) was supposedly handing out tickets for the Papal Audience tomorrow. Turns out you have to actually go up to them and ask for it, so we did that and WE HAVE TICKETS! We're gonna see Pope Benedict tomorrow morning at 10.30 on Jess's birthday.. what a present lol!

After that we walked to Trestavere again, went into 2 more Churches in that area, I'll post what theyre called later cause I forgot :P We got some amazing amazing amazing pizza at this one restraunt, then stopped at a bar to get espressos and alcohol haha.. On our way home we went to another church which had relics of St Faustina in it, pretty awesome!

Im getting used to the nightly routine of walking through St Peters Basilica on the way home, its pretty sweet :) Oh and on the way home guess where we stopped... Di pèr Di to get milk and.. gelato. 3 boxes of it.

Crazy Americans!

oh and leftovers for dinner ;)
