Rome

We caught a train in the early morning to spend 12 hours in Rome. Since we had such little time, we crammed in tons of tourist sites. I was dying of fatigue from the night before. We started at the Vatican and saw the Sistine Chapel, which was amazing. The rest of the city was less than my expectations. The city was dirty and overcrowded. After the Sistine Chapel, we went to St. Peter’s Square and St. Peter’s Basilica. We walked all over town and visited the Coliseum and the Pantheon. The Coliseum was ruined beyond recognition, so it was not worth the wait. After the Pantheon, a large group of us went to the nearby bar, The Drunken Ship. The Drunken Ship was one of my favorite bars. The atmosphere was very interesting.
