I don’t have much time — I somehow managed to spend 22 of my 30 minutes looking at e-mails…

Spent the last two days in Rome, which I absolutely fell in love with.  Saw the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Colisseum, though I didn’t go inside.  I spent a lot of time in the area right next to the Colissum, where all the ruins are — I found that more interesting.  We waited in-line for the Vatican for 2 – 2 1/2 hours, and I ended up getting very dehyrdated and throwing up right outside (though luckily not in or on).  There’s a new most embarssing moment…  The Sistine Chapel was goregous, though overwhelming.  Sat inside it for a good 15-20 minutes, but could’ve spent much more time.  I think I prefer the ceiling and the wall that Michaelangelo painted himself to the panels that he had the other artists create.

We’re in Florence, now, and I only have 3 minutes left on this card, so I’d better rush.  I’ll try to bring my travel journal here tomorrow, and write out of that so that I’ll sound much more profound.
