Across the city, back and forth

Day two of Rome was also productive. I went back to the places that I just saw the exterior of, namely two of the Churches from Angels and Demons, and the Colloseum. I went inside this time. And was impressed on every count. Most breathtaking, however, was my blunder at the Vatican. I intended to simply go into St. Peter's Cathedral. I got in the wrong line, however. Apparently, there is no line to simply go in, as it is huge enough to house a house. The line I got in ended up being the line to climb 550 stairs to the TOP of the dome. As in, on top, outside, looking over the smallest country in the world. It was super cool. And many photos were taken. I did end up back downstairs and inside the dome, and it was also impressive. Breathtaking. I wanted to go to the Sistine Chapel, but to do so involved paying some extra euros and taking a longer tour of the museums. I may get swayed into tomorrow, since I don't have a lot planned. In fact, the only thing I have planned for tomorrow is finding this particular park just south of the Vatican where people apparently play ultimate at 5pm. Other than that, I'm looking at a pretty relaxed day, just letting my legs rest a bit, since I've noticed that they have been getting more tired more quickly. I think a day of rest is in order. Again, I'm at a loss on how to conclude this post. I'm bad at this part. If I ever write a book, I'll have someone else write the last chapter. And he rode off into the sunset.
