Our Last Day in Rome





Well it started off a little crazy. We had the morning booked for a walking tour through the Colosseum, the Ancient Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill. What do all of these have in common? They are all outdoors. We woke up in the morning to rain and it never stopped. We braved it through the Colosseum and portions for the Forum, but decided to cut our losses and save up our energy and health for our afternoon tour of the Vatican Museum and St. Peter Basilica. Not to be disappointed, we met our tour guide Guido at the museum and had an awesome four hour tour. It was great to see all of the things we had read about, including the Sistine Chapel and Michelangelo's La Pieta in St. Peter's. Check out our photos from the day.
