Is it really our last day in Italy? Michael has a serious case of depression but I'm trying to just think about what lies ahead. We still have about two weeks of vacation left before we return to San Diego.
We couldn't get in the Borghese Gallery when we were here earlier so we made a reservation for today. It had some beautiful art and I do think I appreciated it more after our month in art classes ie a million museums. What I don't understand is why this art is so important that you need a reservation and you can only be there two hours and of that you can only look at the cool stuff (paintings) for 30 minutes. Due to the time constraints we gave in and paid for the audio guide. The museum was a private home so it's set on a lovely park which we toured on our way out. From there we picked up some quick items to take home with us and did a bag swap at the hotel because we had to check everything we owned at the museum so we didn't bring much.
The rest of the day we just enjoyed the city. We ate lunch late so we only ended up getting gelato once! Blasphemy I know! We went to the Spanish steps, took some pictures and people watched for a while, strolled along the streets, stopped at a few small churches along the way ending in Piazza Navona which has a four rivers fountain. Going to these places makes it even more depressing that we lost the camera because we had some great pictures from our first time. Took the bus back to the hotel so could pack which I'm happy to say went much easier then we thought.
Our home lives aren't nearly this exciting but we still have some vacationing to do while we're on the east coast so we'll continue to write. We'll be in NY a little over a week and the Yankees aren't playing at home once but it's Fleet Week!
