Friday we took the train early in the morning from Chusi to Rome, which is going to be one of the things I miss the most about coming home. Taking trains is awesome! Especially when it's cheap, easy to use, safe, and well planned. On the way home it rained, which I hate to drive in, and riding in the train while it rained was very restful- just the sound of it.
So, we get there, get to our little hotel, and head right off to the Vatican and St. Peter's. It was insane, some of the things I saw.
That was probably part of a public fountain. Possibly it was a bathtub- same shape. It was in the Vatican.
Back in the old days people used to cross the Mare Nostrum on sea monsters. Really. This was also in the Vatican.
This was one of the "here there be monsters" bits in the Hall of Maps at the Vatican.
This was my delicious Friday night dinner, the "American" pizza with hot dogs and french fries.
This is Marcus Aurelius at the Capitoline Museum. The Last good Emperor.
I think that's it for now. We had a long train ride today, lots of travel, and the weather changed. One of the Professors said that it would probably rain over the weekend, and once it did the heat would break. He wasn't kidding- it went from blast furnace to I NEED A SWEATER in the course of an hour or two.

...and the maternal instinct in me kicks in and asks "You did bring a sweater, didn't you?"
I did. It's just not some cables and too many bobbles, extra large, you can camp in it Aran Sweater.
