We are on our way to see the Vatican museum, St Peters, the Colosseum, Forum, and Palatine hill.

It's the hottest it has been the whole trip (mid tohigh 90s) and the ac here barely makes it cool here so we are sweating profusely inside building.

Here we go to see the sights and sweat off all this amazing food. Haha

So freaking hot. I'm chugging water and completely drenched in sweat. I want my Texas trees and grass heat back over this stone ground frying pan stuff.

LOL! Found your blog and had to comment/compliment. I will be there next week and I fear the heat. Thank you for the true descriptions. BTW, your picture of the window with the light streaming through (titled Vatican) is amazing.

Rome was beautiful chaos. The history is every where and so tangible. I think I was the most emotional here in Rome but not at the places I expected. Probably exhaustion but no tears - just felt very overwhelmed.

We covered 1,500 miles since our trip started.

As we are wrapping up our trip I have to say some stuff about our tour. If you have never done a land tour you really should consider it. We saw so many amazing things, stayed at comfortable safe clean places, & enjoyed our tour companions.

And if you take a land tour, sign up for ALL of the optional excursions. They take care o everything and were some of our favorite memories.

Trafalgar was amazing.
