Rome: Part 2

We have officially left Rome... we took a train this morning to Bari, Italy (which is nothing special, trust me!) to catch a ferry to GREECE! We have a few hours before our ferry leaves so we are sitting with our bags in an internet cafe near the train station.

Yesterday was exhausting, but totally worth it! We started the day off at the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatino. We spent several hours wandering around amazed. It poured rain while we were waiting in line to get tickets, so we all got soaked. We were wearing rainjackets, but they didn't seem to help much because we were drenched. The sun did eventually come out and we dried off pretty quickly. After the Colossuem, we took the metro to Vatican City. We got to see St. Peters Basilica, but the Vatican Museum/Sistine Chapel was closed. (That's what we get for trying to go on a Sunday!) Afterwards, we went to eat at a pizzaria near The Spanish Steps. Then, we walked around and wound up back at Piazza Navona. We looked at the art work some more and Whitney got a pretty picture! Then we went back to the hotel and packed for our early morning today!

Miss you all,
