We’re just waiting for the train in Rome to go to Florence. I’ve really liked Rome, and so have the kids and Shel. Great place. Highly recommended.
July 17: We did the tour of the Vatican. 3.5 hours and we felt like we missed so much. They say if you took 3 seconds at each item on exhibit in the museums, you would be there for 12 YEARS. I completely believe it. It seems the way most people deal with the heat here is to go in after lunch and come out again for dinner and walking in the afternoon. That’s what we’ve been doing. A brief afternoon nap and then back out as it cools off.
Anyway, we have to head back to the train station. It’s a zoo and we’re not ENTIRELY sure how long it will take to figure out where we have to go and what we have to do. Talk to you all from Florence if we find a cafe!
