Today was our trip to Rome. We had a smooth train ride then crowded subway ride to the Vatican. We waited in line and got in pretty quickly. The admission was free but we had limited time so we saw the Sistine Chapel then headed out to St. Peter's Basilica. It was gorgeous. Then to the Coliseum and the Palatine Hill and the Forum. Then to the Trevi Fountain and finally the Spanish Steps. Great day but way to crowded for my liking.
