A Tale of Two Southern Girls Roaming Through Rome (Cheesy!)

We caught a bus to St. Peteròs (we cant find the apostrophe on the Italian keybaord). The Pope was not there to greet us. We did pass the dress code(no short skirts or bare shoulders)... cant say that for every tourist.

The highlight of the cathedral was the 323 steps(we couldnt make any more) up to the top of Michelangelos last work(the dome of St. Peters Basilica).

We enjoyed our first Italian pizza at LAngelos and Jennifer enjoyed her first European orange Fanta (delicious!!!!) Along the way we refilled our water bottles at the cold water aquaducts.

We explored the Vatican Museum. As we were admiring the Sistine Chapel we were rubbing elbows with the red headed guy from CSI:Miami (we think his name is David Caruso).

We strolled across town and visited the Pantheon. Then we picked up our first round of gelato (Stracciatello) and ate it sitting by the Trevi Fountain, where we met another American who tabbed their Rick Steves guidbook. We both joined in the tradition of throwing a coin over our right shoulder and making a wish. We ended our day sitting on the Spanish Steps people watching.

Can You Guess Who??? (Cindy or Jennifer)
People who know both of us probably can figure these out pretty easily and the ones who know only one of us probably can too. :)
