Rome In Red

Yesterday my feet about broke off. I decided to wear my brown boots [not sooo comfy, but cute] to walk over to the Vatican Museum. I forgot how bad my achilles were hurting, until we were almost to the Vatican. I don't know how I forget because ever single morning its the same thing, I go on a walk to somewhere and after about five minutes into that walk my left achilles starts hurting. This is normal, says Shane's professor. Because of the cobblestone streets everywhere, the road is a bit uneven and its not like your walking on sidewalk. Your knees, feet, and achilles could/should hurt for the first 10 days of being here. So thats good to know that me and Shane are both not out of shape or something, were just normal Americans adapting to the roads of Rome. 

We spent the day inside the Vatican then onto the Vatican Museum where the Sistine Chapel is. 

WOW, what a masterpiece. The entire museum is incredible by itself but then to reach the Sistine Chapel at the end, is really a cherry on top. The Sistine Chapel is the most the amazing thing I have seen since I have been in Rome. I decided it is my favorite thing in Rome thus far, although it is simply a "chapel" it is the most beautiful art in the world. Especially learning how much time and work Michael Angelo put into this piece, makes you appreciate it even more. Amazing.
