After a late start we arrived to find St. Peter's Basilica filled with massive crowds of people.

| Gelato #2 |
With a promise to start early tomorrow morning we abandoned our plan to
see the basilica today and roamed the souvenir shops and street
vendors... which the girls had been itching to do.
Castel Sant'Angelo was closed for the rest of the day so we crossed that off our list as well.
It is funny that Audra and Sofia were lamenting the heat and longing for
the coolness of Stockholm! Gabby found it annoying that pictures of
the Pope are everything (not even worth explaining to her). In the
postcards they wrote at lunch, however, they talked about all the
interesting things they're seeing and doing!! I find it hard to imagine
them appreciating this years from now.
As we walk around Rome, street vendors are all selling the same thing... squishy blobs that when thrown down on a surface, splat, make a squeaky sound and reshape themselves.. the the background noise everywhere are little squeaks, it's comical.
After lunch we headed to the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel.
