September 5-6, we spent in Rome. Nicole and Dustin went to the Vatican museum while Declan and I explored other museums. Poor Dustin and Nicole had to endure some “fun” accommodations. Not the most romantic trip, lol. But we got to see a lot!
Putting my head together with the discus thrower. Supposedly one of the first copies. Below are some rings from the floating roman palace on lake Nemi that I learned all about..it was massive. Also saw a collection of BEAUTIFUL mosaics. Declan got a good nap in.
We managed to get in to the Borghese gallery and see the impressive collection of art there including Caravaggio and Bernini. It was nice and small…sometimes art collections can be overwhelming but I felt the Borghese was just the right dose.
Ah Rome. She never ceases to exhaust me. Although I will say that we did a metro pass this time and it was AWESOME. We jumped on any bus or metro any time we wanted. Definitely helped with the fatigue.
