uld be a long night. There was only one attraction really left to explore, the Vatical Museums. We walked from the train station because it was a beautiful day, about 67°. The line to get it was massive but luckily it moved fast, and the security was pretty crazy too. Tickets were supposed to be 15 euro, but we flashed out youth cards, and were excited it was only 8 euro each! A significat savings for us! They march you through the long hallways and exhibits with the most ellaborate detailed artwork i have ever seen. It seemed at times it was an endless maze. Neither of us really knew what we were looking at 
because we never buy the audiotours, but we could still appreciate the skill and beauty of all the art. We were taking out time and then heard that the Sisteen Chapel closes in a bit so tried to rush through the crowd, 
but it was a mad house. BUT we did make it, and it was pretty magnificent! Crazy imagining how Michaelangelo (Spelling) painted all of that...it was so detailed! It was kinda crazy though because you are supposed to be silent in there and there are just way to many people for that to be realistic. I snuck a picture of the famous part that everybody knows! Whoops...By the time the museum was all said and done, it was time for dinner! 
Brad and I made our way to a Piazzo....there are TONS of them around Rome...and found a restaurant to eat at! Luckily Brad had read about finding a place with "no Bread Charge" and " No Service Charge". We got a lovely seat outside with a gorgeous view and lots of people busking...or just playing guitar and other instruments for those of you who don't know what busking is! We were starving so immediately ordered a bottle of wine and asked for bread....but NO BREAD came!! We started thinking "No Bread Charge" is the same thing as...we don't have bread! hahaha! But a few minutes later i saw the manager run over with a huge bag of bread...must have run out! And MmmMMM is was Delicious...with the oil and vinegar! Otherwise, i have been quite dissapointed with the bread here! I think it is a marketing scam in America ... the yummy Italian bread i always buy...because all the bread here has been very tough or just yuck!
