It was so huge and we got to see where the pope spoke and all this cool stuff! Took a ton of photos and then some old lady blessed me when I yawned while listening about one of the statues. Woops. After that we had to wait for the next tour of the Vatican so naturally we were board and took photos.
We were just standing outside waiting when it started to rain. And since I was the only one In a rain jacket I had to put the camera under my jacket. So I looked like a lovely pregnant lady the rest of that day, which Kody found hilarious and said maybe we will get to cut more lines! Well when we got into the Vatican it was huge and there were people everywhere! We went through all the halls and saw all the paintings and sculptures and some of the garden from above but they were closed because of the winter.
The last thing we did was go into the Sistine chappel to see the famous painting on the roof. Where we found out we couldn't take pictures and me and Kody were so confused how we were going to get to show people that we actually went. So when we got in Kody went into shock because he thought the room was a domb and it's not. And I was shocked because the famous part of the painting where the fingers touch wasn't in the middle of the room and didn't look bigger or any more significant than the paintings all around the room. So me and Kody looked some more snapped a secret photo on his phone 😳 and then had to follow the line out.
All together we were at the Vatican till 2 in the afternoon. After the Vatican I wanted to go see the trevi fountain. So we headed to super pizza by our hotel and ate it while we walked. We were headed to the trevi found, Well the lady who had given us our passes circled it on our map for us so we headed there it was a subway ride and a long walk up a huge hill till we got to a fountain...in a park completely under construction. So not only was this NOT the trevi fountain but the fountain we were sent to you couldn't even see. I was so mad! Well when we asked a man walking through the park he showed us where the real fountain was (which was right by where we were before we came to this one) and we headed that way. While walking down the street actually near the trevi fountain, we were stopped by a group of girls outside a hotel and we asked "if we spoke American" and the only thing going on in my mind was this is why people think we're stupid. But we said that's where we were headed so they followed and it worked out because me and Kody finally got a photo of the both of us!
After making our wishes we got real gelato and ate it on the side of the fountain.
It started to rain so once again we headed to our room for an early night! The I looked at Kody and told him it was ridiculous we were in our room so early in ROME. so we decided to go have dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe so Kody could get his drum sticks. We had fajitas and they were amazing! They also are the only place that gave free refills. It was Pepsi, but I didn't even care it was great. And then a bartender messed up and drink and they give them out instead of throwing them away so we got a free drink! When we got back to the room (at 10:00 this time) I decided to search through the channels one last time to find something in English I found a channel that said in the corner of the tv "American idiots'" and it was playing Paul blart mall cop, IN ENGLISH. I was a little offended but also super excited me and Kody just got to enjoy a movie and understand it.
We called it a night and got to watch the movie from the beginning. It was great!!!
Jo and Ko (day three in rome and at 1 in nice coming soon!)
