It's Wednesday and we've survived travel delays, jetlag and basic lack of sleep. We were running on adrenaline. I noticed Cam was mellow yesterday, and today I woke up with a wrenched lower back. I popped a couple of Aleve and sucked it up big time walking and observing for 6 hours at the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. Come on, you gotta suck it up for that right? After that day I went into problem-solving mode. I emailed my chiropractor and he emailed me some exercises to do. I got on my tiny little hotel floor and went to work. Much better the next day!
I continue to find Cam in a daze either staring in to space or just considering/pondering what he is seeing. A few more things I've learned about him: He thinks the coolest souvenirs are things like mosaics, busts or anything marble/artsy. There will be no t-shirts or keychains for him. And, he would like a bust in his room some day. Yes, a bust of someone, not sure who. Today he must have looked at 5 busts and of course they were all over 100 euros. The kid is random.
So we managed our way after several stops to rest, back to the hotel for our daily shower and rest before dinner. It's quite routine now. Our room is always nice and cool and with the windows open you can hear dishes clanging, people talking, and music being played at the Pantheon.
Are you noticing this blog is shorter...yup, that's weary traveler for ya!
- Michelangelo's Pieta, my very favorite piece of art in the world. This is at the front of St. Peter's Basillica. Just stunning. Too bad some crazy guy tried to hammer at it a few years back and not they have to have it behind bullet proof glass
- Cam in front of Castel Sant'Angelo/Romehttp://www.aviewoncities.com/rome/castelsantangelo.htm
- Tiber River
- Mom=2 Lines=0
It's pretty cool to walk past hundreds of people having to wait in line for hours. Pre- purchasing tickets is KEY!
- This is looking down in to St. Peters tomb. It's one of those interesting pieces of history. It was sweet to see him standing by a nun
- Cam mailing a letter from the Vatican to his girlfriend.
