My opinion: this day immersed us in the most art, history , and culture than any other during this trip. I wish i could
share with you the excitement and marvel in our eyes as we turned what seemed like every corner and explored every long corridor in the Vatican, St. Peter's cathedral, and finally ended at the Trevi Fountain but it is truly something to see with your own eyes.
One cool thing we learned before we even went in the museum is that Vatican is it's own country and Vatican Museum also serves as their embassy. So it is fitting that the building is surrounded by these beautiful gardens and plazas.
St. Peter's is the biggest cathedral in the world but cathedrals in general are architecturally designed to at least seem to be the biggest structure you've ever seen to impress this feeling of truly being a child and/or servant of God and humble anyone who enters. if i had to describe it in just a few words - "larger than life."
Before we left St. Peter's, Mumfy called us together and gave us tips for Trevi Fountain. Legend has it that if you throw one coin you'll return to rome, two coins and you'll return married, three and you'll return "single again"...? None of us could really figure out what that meant so needless to say no one threw three. In fact, i'm pretty sure everyone threw two ;)
