Roma di nuovo...

Last Sunday ( the 31th ) I went Rome to visit the Vatican’s Museum and the oh so famous Cappella Sistina ( 16th chapel ). My day started off before the break of dawn, at 6:00 am I was already on a bus on my way to Rome. Then by 9:20 I was in line that wrapped around three street corners, to get inside… I finally got inside around 11 … The Vatican’s Museum is filled from the floor to the ceiling of ancient art, Sculptures ,old artifacts ( Roman bathtubs, mirrors, maps of what they thought the world was like) painting (afresco, tempera , etc ) At times I thought there was to much to see in one room.. everything was so close together… the 16th chapel in particular was very clustered… in the sense that they was just So much to look at one didn’t know where to focus their attention.. Don’t get me wrong.. It’s absolutely breath takingly, Beautiful! Michelangelo is an artistic genius ! I was mesmerized by “The last Judgment” ( especially because we’ve studied it so much in Cultura Italiana ) and the ceiling…..
( this picture doesnt do it justice at all.. but its just to get an idea.. ) I was amazing to see in person (with binoculars) “the creation of Adam” ,
“Adam and Eve Expulsion out of Eden” etc etc
And because it was “free Sunday” –the last Sunday of every month.. All the museums are free in Roma- there was so many people , that I was able to sneek.. and.. capture this
After the Vaticano, Maria and I went to see the Fountain of Trevi and Piazza Espana, ( which we hadn’t had time to see the last time we were there.. Maria is going back to Mexico in ten day.. so we did some Souvenir shopping..for her.. had some lunch.. and walked around some more until we had to catch the bus back to Perugia.. I was a great day!

(I didn’t go to Napoli, by the way.. because the trip was cancel.. not enough people signed up for it.. but there’s another one in march.. so I’ll go to that one!)
