Rome Trip Day 4

Our last day in Rome! And boy was it a hot one. Things didn't really go quite as planned either...the museum we wanted to see charged 10 euro per person and wouldn't give us a student discount because we were from the US. I guess I'm not really a student anymore anyway...haha. So we ended up doing a lot of random stuff instead.

Walking along the river.


Castle Saint Angelo, which we also didn't go in because it was too expensive.


The Angel Bridge to the Castle.


We ended up at a flea market, and Brian bought me a present!


Saint Cecelia's remains are in her church.


The apse in Saint Maria of Trastevere.


Gelato!


And that was seriously about it. A lot of the pictures we took in churches over the last 4 days need to be edited for contrast because it's just too dark to really see. I'll have to do that some other time. I think we saw about 4 churches per day...so 16 churches in all? So it gets confusing which one is which as well.

Our train left at 8, and we slept in couchettes in a compartment with a nice family from Korea. They got off the train around 4am, and we arrived in Zurich, Switzerland around 8am. That post is next!
