3rd day but only 2nd in Roma

Today we got up early so we could go to Vatican City. This place is pretty neat, it's a country/city in a country/city. It is located in Rome but it really isn't part of Roma. They have their own laws and rules. It is only about 105 yards big and has a wall that is built around it to keep people out, how crazy! In order to go through it you purchase a ticket into the city/country. We went to the Sistine Chapel and that place is really neat. We were suppose to go in the Basilica but can't because the pope is in there today. 

Oh my goodness, I tried a mussel at lunch today. Evan, Paige, and Faith were all yelling to tell me to try it so I did. It was disgusting! That was at lunch so I did get pizza and watermelon though. Did you know: pizza margarita here means cheese pizza? I didn't until today. 

Next we got to go on the Italian Metro to go to a place for our City Quest. This gave the delegates time to see the small city, but also to have some fun.  We also got ice cream which the delegates can't stop talking about. After the city quest we had some shopping time and then headed back to the hotel for dome leisure time. Tomorrow we are going to Asissi and will be doing our service project with physically and mentally challenged children. I am so excited, this is right up my ally!

The mussels, YUCK!
