What a crazy day! I went to the Vatiacan and saw the Sistine Chapel today!!!! I have learned about this Chapel in my textbooks, but it was so great to see the real thing!!
Although today was a little rushed and hectic, I was able to relax and move at a slower pace yesterday as I was offered the opportunity to explore the Jewish Quarter. Since I am Jewish, I was sure not to miss out on this adventure! I sat inside a Temple and walked around a museum which presented information about Roman Jews. I loved getting the chance to learn about the history of them! Later in the day, I went to the Da Vinci Museum and experimented with some of his crafty machines.
Yesterday night, my fellow friends and I enjoyed a picnic over one of the nicest views of Rome. It was an American style picnic, so it was nice to take a little break from the pizza, pasta, and paninis that consistently appear on the menu in very restuarant in Italy. Not to say I don't love Italian food, however, because I definitely do love it!!
Rome has been an exciting city with wonderful sights and cute cafes. Tomorrow I will be departing to Florence! On to new and exciting views, shops, and cafes. Goodbye Rome, I will be back!!
