Holy Pope! The Vatican is pretty darn cool. There's all this saintly stuff everywhere like sculptures and paintings. We even saw a preserverd dead pope in a glass coffin. Whoa!! Then we climbed up to the Cupola (the dome) and that was pretty gnarly. You climb up 551 steps to get to the top of the basillica. The view at the end was really pretty. You could see the intricate gardening of the Vatican from the top and it was totally tubular. We will post pics soon.
Evans and I decided not to talk while we were in the Basillica of St. Peter because every other sentence we would accidentally say "damn" or "hell" and we felt very sacriligious. Therefore, we opted to sign-language.
Let me tell you...on the 2nd day of our trip to Rome I feel like i already have buns and thighs of steel! All the climbing and walking you do is outrageous! Hopefully it will help me burn all the pasta and pizza and vino we eat!
Tonight we are thinking of hitting up Travestere which is the center of the Rome nightlife.
Tomorrow, we are going to go to a few museums. Then, its off to Firenze!
Haha that reminds me of the time i was in church giving a reading at my cousins wedding and I lost my place and said "holy shit" out loud into the microphone. I didnt realize I said it out loud until it echo'd through the church.
