It has been raining here in Rome for the past couple of days, but that hasn't stopped my family from seeing everything the city has to offer. Yesterday we took an official tour around Vatican City. Unfortunately there were no Pope sightings, but we did see his famous window. Today we continued on with a tour of Rome which included the Colosseum, an ancient civilization museum, and a couple churches. My favorite church we visited was the Church of Santa Maria Del Popolo, which is supposedly built on haunted ground. This might explain why there are skulls and cross bones throughout the building. Once we were done touring we did a little shopping around town, and at one store my dad bought me a cookbook written in Italian. So now I can learn how to cook and speak Italian at the same time. Which I am sure will go very well...
