Jessica connected me to the Duomo Museum. It holds all the prowess that used to be in and decorating the exterior of the Duomo. We got to wager Ghiberti’s Bronze Panels from the Baptistery Doors and sculptures by Michelangelo and Donatello.
I went across the river to go to the Brancacci Chapel in the church of Santa Maria del Carmine. I got forfeited but institute whatever interesting shops on the way. The service is filled with fresco’s by Masaccio, Masolino, and Filippino Lippi that are very beautiful.
I spent my terminal few minutes in the markets nearby San Lorenzo. I picked up a few more souvenirs and then met Sam backwards at our hotel to pack up. We patterned out and then got pizza and canollis to eat in Piazza Santa Maria Novella.
In the condition send we ran into the LDS missionaries who explained to us how to validate our condition ticket. We took the condition to leaders passing the beautiful countryside. I hit no idea how alacritous we were going, but I conceive a lot faster than cars travel.
When we got to Rom we walked to our hotel, B&B Angela. We were supposed to stay in added hotel, but we got an email the period before informing us that we were moved. When we got there and patterned in the Asiatic teenager receptionist walked us individual blocks away to added building, giving us four keys, and leading us to the smallest hotel shack I hit ever seen. The power filler bed just fits in the room. We are in Rome, hit our own bathroom, and it is clean, so whatever.
After we got settled we walked across town to the Pantheon, by the time we got there it we closed on the inside, but we got to wager in finished the door. Our organisation is to go backwards to tour the interior. We institute the gelato place that Jeremiah told us about, so we had to get some, even though we had just had gelato an hour before.
We strolled finished Campo de’ Fiori and Piazza Navona, which felt a lowercase like a carnival. There were street vendors everyplace and lowercase shops unsmooth the narrowing streets. We ate dinner in a lowercase restaurant nearby Piazza Navona. We had fried vegetables as our appetizer, tortellini in cream sauce, and I had crème caramel for desert.
The first conception of the period was dry but it started raining more and more as the period when on. We pressed on because it was New Years Eve and we are in Rome. We walked past Capitol Hill and a bunch of Roman ruins. They are everywhere. You will be walking along and then next to you is a ruin enclosed by a inclose in the middle of the city. They don’t seem to tear things downbound here, they just use the antiquity and turn it into something they want.
We walked past Circus Maximus were they did the chariot races and then just followed the crowds to the Coliseum. The Colloseum is incredible, especially at night. For New Years Eve they had a band playing that the gathering seemed to love. The only difficulty was that it was pouring downbound rain. After an hour of that Sam and I gave up and headlike for our hotel. There staleness not be any regulations for fireworks because people were setting them off in the streets and throwing them out their windows. We kissed to alter in the newborn assemblage amidst blasting booms of everyone’s fireworks. Happy New Year!
