Day 3: Vatican and City Quest

Today we had an early morning going to the Vatican! We got to see the amazing sculptures and breath taking murals/painting. We almost weren't able to see the Sistine Chappell, but we managed to get in. We weren't supposed to take pictures (but of course...I had to snap a few), and then we were headed to Saint Peter's Basilica, but we weren't able to get close because the president or major was there. We went for amazing pizza right on the outside of the vatican, and was able to get wifi!! Two men came into the restaurant and started playing their accordions!! It was really cool!

After the great pizza, we took a metro ride to the Spanish Steps! We started our City Quest to find the Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, and another Piazza. We spilt up into small groups and were off to find these amazing landmarks. We asked locals where the monuments were and asked them some quiz questions like "What is the most popular souvenir bought in Italy?", and "how many columns are in the first rank(of the pantheon)". Some groups ended up having a hour left after finding all the monuments, and were able to rest, shop and hang out.

After the fun City Quest, we all got two scoops of gelato! I went for Strawberry and Snickers, it wasn't a good mix, so I'm glad there was more strawberry than Snickers. We had a pretty good dinner, we chose between fried cheese or breaded pork.. I chose the cheese. We were also given a dessert that lots of us didnt enjoy......

We got back to the rooms with 2ish hours before bed checks, and Adrianna hung out in the room! We played a weird computer game called Happy Wheels, and I was given some jobs to do as a Junior Leader. I have to call everyone at 7:45am making sure everyone is up, making sure everyone signs birthday cards, and i have to talk to ms fields about doing a group "thing"--dance, something saying P2P, or something creative for our trip and that everyone in the group can do.
