Vatican City (Re-post from Journals)
Craig dropped us off at the Vatican about 8:00am. The line wrapped around the outer wall, which took us about 2 hours to get in. The museums at the Vatican can be a little overwhelming, but for some reason I loved it. The Vatican was great, though Wendy was rushing like crazy. I try to take as much time as I was allowing myself before Wendy say something. Then I asked Wendy if she believed in God and Jesus, she asked why and then say No. This explains why she was in a rush, since nothing really interested her. I know I irritated her a bit, when I was taking my time picking out a rosary. (Now she knows how it felt everytime she buys something.) Man, there was so many different types of rosary and the price range was from $10 euro to $500+ all depending if you want something from silver and gold. I picked out a few rosaries that weren't too expensive. =) I figure God would understand and wouldn't mind.Then we walked down to the Sistine Chapel and I was overwhelmed with the ceiling filled with Michelangelo's artwork like the Last judgment. I want to take a photo, but a rude Japanese tourist blur out that picture and flashes were not allow. Fine then, I took a quick video just to piss her off. Ha-ha.. It came out ok, since it was dark. Next we went into St. Peter Church and took a few pictures, there was a picture I took with 2 angels that seem so a live in the photo- it was one of my fave pictures b/c it gave me a warm feeling that the angels is indeed watching over me. (I know I sound a bit corny.) Before heading off into Rome for the rest of the day, we checked out St. Peter's Square and a few gift shops for souvenirs. We also brought some pizza; it was good though I couldn't finish it. In Rome, Pizza are sold by it’s weight and I asked for one slice but the lady gave me 2 slices of pizza that was fold together like a sandwich. Oh well it was too late to tell her. However it was too much that I couldn't even finish half. But I got to admit that the pizza was pretty good, maybe b/c I'm in Rome? As we walked down the street, there was a bunch of smart cars on the road. If you think Mini copper are small, think again. I took a picture of a red one to show Joanne.
We headed over to the Naval Monument (Aka the wedding cake.) Then we took this mini-bus to the Coliseum that took about 10 mins or so. After we got off, we realize that we could have easily walked there in 5 mins, since it was around the corner of the Naval Monument. We laughed it off. As we walked toward the Coliseum, Wendy wanted to buy some t-shirts from this street vendor. I was piss b/c it took almost 30 mins. (I'm not kidding.) to buy some freaking T-shirts, the thing is that she was flirting w/ the Indian guy, who was not even cute a bit. She told him she was from Milan and can get it really cheap there. Ohmigod, what a freaking liar! All this trouble just so she can save a lousy save $10 euro. Yeah, she went there for a month, doesn't make you from the city. All you have to do is say you have this much, take it or leave it. It was to the point where I told her; let's go it's taking too long. Ok, maybe at the end she saved $15, but if made her look so cheap.
We are finally at the Coliseum. All I can say it was big and ancient. I wanted to stay longer then 4:15 and have nice dinner in Rome, since there wasn't going to be dinner or anything else to do back at the hotel. I even told Wendy that I don't mind paying for the Taxi, at first she agree that it's a good idea. But she changed her mind after some tour mates say it wasn't safe. Which I thought was stupid, if it wasn't safe why did Kristy gave us which metro line to take back to the hotel. When we were taking the metro back, one of the tour mates was telling how wonderful the Vatican was and then Wendy told her that she would have spent a whole peaceful day there. (WTF! That was what I told her when we were at St. Peter. I gave her a quick stare and she didn't look at me. What a liar and faker.)
Anyways, we got back hotel and changed into more comfortable clothing. Everyone placed an order for pizza. As we waited for our order to come, Wendy hanged out at the lobby while I was in the lawn sitting there with a bunch of tour mates, which was pretty cool. There were a few good laughs and it was just relaxing. Then when our order came, Wendy say let's go back to the room b/c she allergic to the lawn. Seriously I thought she would have asked me if I wanted take my share and stayed there or eat at the lobby. I was kindly of upset, but figure I should have still ate the pizza w/ her in the room regardless- it would be nice and unselfish of her if she asked, if I wanted to stay.
