When in Rome

In my opinion you need to do homework, study, get excited, long for the day to come, look at YouTube, cover the net, plan and then go. I also believe that our greatest adventures have been surprises. We had planned to go with a group and arrive early at the Vatican Museums and spend the day. Providence made our alarm mute. Oh well... because of research we had some ideas: we had a leisurely breakfast at the rooftop garden
and visited Basilica S, Maria de gli Angeli e dei Martiri (a church made from Roman baths with a vault designed by Michelangelo)

where we attended a wedding, heard an organ concert,
took a thrilling cab ride to the Vatican and hung out in the religious supply stores along the outer wall.
Saw great wonders and mysteries. Met a beautiful young server in a small café at a late lunch and when returning to the same place with our group for dinner, she recognized me, came up and hugged me - much to the envy of the others. But, we missed the museums.
