We only had two and a half days there, but we packed them well. We saw the Trevi fountain, the Pantheon, and Campo di Fiori on day 1/2. Day 1.5, we went to the Colosseum where I kept thinking about Beldar Conehead's epic battle with the beast, when he was victorious thanks to his new found golfing skills he acquired on planet earth.
We explored Palentine Hill and the Roman forum, before heading to the Jewish Quarter, where we ate lunch and had some amazing bread, which is very unusual for Tuscany. We toured the synagogue, which was the most beautiful synagogue I'd ever seen.
Day 2.5, we went to the Vatican museums and saw the Sistine Chapel, where once again, pop culture got the best of me. I kept thinking about the episode in Arrested Development where Buster and George Sr. reenact Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam."
