Vatican City, the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica were our first stop of the day today. It is incredible to see the size and scope of these buildings. They are amazing. I could have stayed in the Sistine Chapel all day long. After lunch, we drove past all the Forums and to the Colliseum. We bought a neat book about Rome then and now that I read that night to see all the changes in the buildings. That night I went running along a road near the Appian Way. Lots of hills and no need to turn much, so my legs were very happy. Most of the sidewalks are paved with marble curbs, so I could stay on the sidewalk and not get killed by the drivers.
