Just Rock the Structure
Photos from the Rome trip are up here. The trip was, much like Venice, full of straight tourism, but a little more varied in the age range and a little more impressive in general. Word of advice: The Colosseum does not warrant a visit inside. It’s pretty much just big and that can be seen from the outside. The inside is pretty busted (I know).
Vatican city and the Vatican museum was just amazing. Definitely worth a visit and definitely worth arguing with the ticket office to get a student rate. I’ll just say, I was very happy to get to see the Birth of Man and the School of Athens, but I was quite disappointed at the thought of the scene from Six Degrees of Separation in which Stockard Channing gives the Birth of Man a big slap. I want to slap the Birth of Man. Would be just fantastic. Just fantastic. But, that probably won’t happen for a good while now.
