Today we went to the Vatican, the only country you can go in without a passport!
We took the train to Rome like always, and took the metro near the Vatican. we had sometime to grab some lunch. I got strawberry and Oreo geloto. Not the best combination but both flavors were pretty tasty. After getting geloto, I went to the convenience store just down the street. What do you know, the juice I had in Costa Rica and have been searching for was in that store! I was so happy to find the Guanabana nectar juice. I honestly love it and it tastes so good, I savored every last drop of it. After we met up with Jill and she explain to us that we will have two guides at the Vatican, a sweet heart and shows the arts or one that talks about blood and guts.
When we got to the Vatican, I went with the guide who was a sweetheart, Maggie. We went through and seen many different things from sculptures, to maps. Everything was so detailed, even the ceilings! I really enjoyed every moment in the Vatican, until the Sistine Chapel. When I walked in the Sistine Chapel, my jaw almost hit the floor. I have heard some much about the Sistine, as well as Michelangelo and specifically the most famous point of focus 'The Creation of Man'. Seeing his work in person was unbelievable. I could not contain my emotions, I began to tear up in the Sistine Chapel.
When we got back we were on our on for dinner and for the rest of the night. I got sauce and cheese, one of my favourites so far! After I went out and got strawberry geloto!
