This is the museum that the Dali exhibit
was in and the reason we just happened
to see it was because it was right next to
the ruins

This was an advertisement we kept seeing
all around Rome and just so you know
you are not supposed to take pictures in the
metro because i got told by the metro police
not to take any more pictures after I took this.

Where we had lunch

I had Lasagna and was still hungry after

So I had a fruit tart and an espresso!

On our way to the Vatican it is right down
that street

Toady we got up at 8:00 AM to get ready to go and have breakfast before we got on our way to see the sights. the breakfast was really good . On the way into the metro we saw a little shop and stoped to see what they had, I was in awe of a dress I found for 10 Eros and so I got it We got on the metro and had to transfer to line B at Termini Station so Alex took that chance to get some cash and we got to see the station again which was fun cause I saw a few things I had not seen the day before. Then we were on our way to the Coliseum we got off at Colosseo station and it was right there we then used our handy Roma Passes to get in and only had to wait 30 minutes once we got in it was so pretty. I took tons of pictures after we walked around the Coliseum we went to try to find the entry to the Roman Ruins. It took us a while to find but we did and got a painting and some really pretty paintings and funny pictures along the way. When we found the ruins we also found the Salvador Dali exhibit which he is a painter that was around in the 1930s and is widely known for his melting clocks painting and his lip sofa. after we walked around that exhibit we made our way back to the station to go to the Vatican and we saw a bike race that was getting news coverage and we had kids in front of us trowing water all over the place. We got to the Vatican area and decided to have lunch and shop a little I got a few souvenirs and we had a really good lunch. then we made our way to the Vatican, but my camera shut off so we will have to wait for pictures of that cause The other girls took them. After that we went back to the hotel and Rachel and Alex freshened up while I had a nice bath and went to bed cause I was not feeling well.
