Sights to see in Rome are endless. It was the ultimate last city to tour. We did everything, and our feet paid the price. Highlights: 1) The Vatican City where we slyly cut 200ish people in line (desperate times call for desperate measures), trucked around the museums until we gave up and followed the rushed crowds on their way to the Sistine Chapel, and opted for the short tour of St. Peter’s Basilica on our way to an elephantine pasta feast. 2) Drinking wine at the Trevi Fountain and toasting to good friends and adventures. 3) Reconnoitering the Colosseum and the Roman Forum in the rain. 4) Chilling with the Pope on Immaculate Conception. That’s right, we stood approximately 10 feet from the Pope. He rolled up in his little Pope-Mobile, gave a few waves and smiles, gave an Italian speech, and put out the vibes. 5) The Last Supper (an extended “splurge” meal) with Alex, Tori, Alyssa, and Ben before wandering back to the hostel for two solid hours of sleep to prepare us for our early morning travels home.
