Out of Things To-Do

Rome is quite a small city. We run out of things to do, so we visit St. Peter's Square again. The Catholic Church is a huge organisation. The Vatican is a gigantic fortress. The museum is full of artifacts including Egyptian mummy. St. Peter Church is enormous and full of religous sculpture and paintings. The paintings are very realistic and colours are brilliant. Maybe the maintenance is good, many sculptures have cracks and are restored. Some of the heads are replaced.

Italian men are quite aggressive. They seems to be easily triggered and raring for a fight. Smokers are everywhere. Retail sales are usually foreign women including Chinese and Philipinos. Many Indians and Bangladeshi are vendors on the street selling roasted chestnuts, magazines or knick knacks.

We tried to check out early to go to Florence but have to pay for one night penalty. So we stay on and change our train schedule instead. Until now I have not adjusted to Roman time yet. I am feeling sleepy now...
