Rome

Wow, what an amazing place.
First off, we stayed in a "campsite." This basically meant that we had half a caravan (aka mobile home) with a bathroom. It was actually not that bad, there was a little space heater in there, so it wasn't too cold.
The campsite had a bus that ran to the suburban metro line, so it only took about 40 minutes to get from our campsite to anywhere in Rome.
It is really hard to sum up Rome, it was amazing. We saw the colosseum on the first day. That was really amazing. The Roman Forum (foro Romano) was one of the best parts of Rome. This basically used to be the headquarters of the Roman empire. There were all sorts of ruins from famous, powerful old buildings, the oldest of which was Saturn's Temple, where 8 columns still stand (they were from about 500-600 B.C. We even saw the place where Julius Caesar was cremated. There is a big mound of dirt, and it is still covered in flowers that people bring.
Right by the forum, there is also the Mamertine Prison we went into, and Saints Peter and Paul were both said to have been imprisoned there.. pretty cool!
We went into the Capital Hill Museum, where the coolest thing there was a foot, and hand, and other remnants of the HUGE statue of Constantine that used to be somewhere...
Oh yeah, I might have forgotten to mention that somehow we were lucky enough to be in Florence and Rome during "Italian Culture Week," which for me meant Free Museum Week!! I saved at least 50 euros because almost all museums were free for that week! I love Italian Culture!
The Pantheon was pretty neat, we saw Raphael's Tomb, which makes it 2 now out of the 4 Ninja Turtles tombs I've seen on the trip.
Vatican City was pretty sweet. The longest wait we have had so far on the trip was for the Vatican museum (1.5 hours, which okay.. its not so bad.)
My favorite part of the Vatican museum was their Egyptian collection, it was pretty cool. The Raphael rooms were also pretty immense. And of course, there is the Sistine chapel, which.. as famous as it is, there were just too many people packed into there, that I couldn't just have a peaceful look up at it for too long.
St. Peter's Basilica did turn out to be my favorite of the chapel's I visited. (I know, there were sooo many!) There were too many amazing things there, but Michaelangelo's Pieta (of course behind bulletproof glass) did not disappoint me.
The pope's crypt under the basilica was pretty cool as well.
The Trevi fountain was one really neat thing, it is basically a huge fountain that is part of a building. It is hard to describe in words, so look for the pictures or wikipedia it.
By far the weirdest thing was the Capucin Crypt. Apparently in Rome it is okay and legal and perfectly kosher to dig up the bones of 4000 monks and make artwork with them. weird I know, but oh well..... as they say.. when in Rome.
Anyway, it was cool.. the artwork of the monk's bones.. I will post pictures of that soon, it was cool... and weird.
That is about it.. If I think of anything I forgot, I'll add it later.... on to Naples!
