Day Seventy-Five

Day Seventy-Five - May 29th, 2009

Rome, Italy

Today we hung out with the Pope.

Not really, but we did go check out where he lives. We got to Vatican City around noon and got in line for the Vatican. There were dozens of tourguides promising the opportunity to skip ahead of the 3 hour line up for a small fee, luckily I had just gotten an email from my mom telling me that the line moves incredibly fast and not to pay attention to any of those people. not that i would have anyway, they were fun to egg on though. We ended up waiting in line for less than 20 minutes and probably stayed inside for about half an hour. It wasn't mind blowing, but it was cool to be at the center of the dominating religion of the world.

We spent the rest of the day walking around what we thought was going to be a park, but ended up being a giant hill with a view of the city. It was a good surprise, but my feet have never hurt more in my life.
