When In Rome!

As the title suggests, we experienced Rome like the Romans would. Well, at night we did, but more on that later. 

First we woke up ad headed straight to the Vatican. Keeping with the incredible luck that is our trip, we just so happened to choose the one day a month (last Sunday) that the Vatican is free! So we waited in a 2 hour line to see the museums for free! We were instantly struck by how many sculptures there were, and how old they are were too. Most of the were first century or older. We slowly but surly made our way to the Sistine Chapel and we were awestruck by the church. We sat in there for quite a while until our legs could take no more and we headed out. 

Next we found a great pizza place and ate there. We then wanted to see the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain in the daytime, so we went over to those again.

After a little rest at the hostel we then went for a dinner in the form of a kabab, which are delicious, although not Italian. We had nothing planed for the evening so I pulled out the map and saw a nice looking plaza with gardens nearby so we decided to hang out there. 

As luck would have it, in that very plaza was the final night of the Music Summer Festival Tezenis Live. It was this huge stage set up with crowds filling the plaza, thousands of people! Instead of just one main act playing a set, they had about 25  popular Italian or international musicians playing a wide variety of genres. There were a couple songs in English, but every thing else wasn't, and that just made it that more fun!

It was an incredible night in Rome! More sights tomorrow, hopes full more luck too!
