Day 3 began earlier than anyone wanted. After a total of 3 hours of sleep the dream team reluctantly woke up and set its sights on the Vatican. After the usual croissant and espresso, we met our tour guide at St. Peter's Square. Yet again, she spoke some language resembling English and we were forced to interpet throughtout the day. During our time at St. Peter's Square, we watched the pope ride around in circles kissing babies and then spoke in Itlian for about an hour. We met a few older gentlemen during the speech and one took a liking to our gang so we accepted his hoss application and set off for the Vatican. We refer to this man as Peter Griffin due to an uncanny resemblence. The tour, although quite long and packed, gave us an idea of the significance of Catholicism and its role in Ancient Rome. After that we saw St. Peter's Basillica and proceeded to climb up a hill reccomended by a friend. At the top of the hill we took in a panoramic view of the city. When you combine this view with gelatto and wine, it makes for a good afternoon. After our hike we made our way down to the hotel to prepare for the night. We went to a restaraunt called Tony's where the owner was an animated character to put it lightly. We then went to a few random bars including G-Bar and eventually ended up at the Trevi Fountain with, yup you guessed it, a couple bottles of wine. We hung out until the wee hours of the morning enjoying our final night in Rome before calling it a day after the sun rose.
