Today (Tuesday) we visited the Vatican and Castel Sant'Angelo. We spent most of the day at the Vatican, visiting St. Peter's square, St. Peter's Basilica, the papal tombs, and the Vatican museum which included the Sistine Chaple. Lauren's favorite part was climbing to the top of the dome at St. Peter's Basilica, despite the hot and humid climb up 320 stairs thjrough a very small and slanted stairwell. After lunch we visited Castel Sant'Angelo which was a built originally for the Emperor Hadrian and then was used as a residence and castle for medieval popes. It was very neat to walk around in, plus it offered great views of the Vatican and Rome from the top of the castle. This picture was taken atop the castle and you can see the Vatican's St. Peter's Basilica just to the right of Erik's head. And to finish the day, Lauren lost all use of her 170W straightening iron due to our electric converter only being good for 85W and less and the fuses being blown. Lauren will have to continue the trip with curly hair…OH NO! According to Erik, luckily, all of the important electronics (like computers) take 220 Volts.

What, no gelato?
Oh...we've had gelato at least once a day including from the Gelateria Giolitti tonight.
Lauren--your hair looks great curly. Have a great time. It sure is good seeing what you are doing.
Forget the hair! Have fun. Hats, clips, etc. will do the job! Love, Barb
