Final Stop: Rome

Well, we've spent the last 2 days exploring the city of Rome, from our campground hostel just outside the city. Saw the Roman Forum and area ruins in one day, and today we roamed around the Vatican. Our timing was unbelieveably perfect, as we waited only 5 minutes to get into St. Peter's Basilica (the lineup when we came out was at least 2 hours long) and only 10mins for the museums and Sistine Chapel (the lineup when we first got there was at least 3 hours). Everything was very grand and gorgeous... almost unchurchlike!

We will be vegetating at the campground tomorrow poolside, flying to Munich tomorrow night, and then home on the 16th! No more touristy stuff for us... it's somewhat bittersweet, but we are definitely ready for some Canadian living.

Looking forward to seeing/talking to you all!
