second day of rome! yay! got off to an early start, cuz had to get to the vatican at liek 730 to line up.. woke up at 6 haha.. we went to the train station.. bought ticket went to the vatican metro stop... and yes.. there was a long line that almost goes AROUND vatican... then we find out it doesn't open until 9.. so we stand in line... and wait till opening. the line starts moving.. and once we get to the door, we get stopped.. we lined up in the group entry line... -_-" ooh my.. they point to the other line.. and it's sooo frickin long! we walk and walk and walk... take 3 min to walk to the line.. around 3 corners... soooo stupid! then,we thought we got there earlier than the other ppl and there they are... at the end of the line.. if we knew that an hour sooner... we would've been way in the front.. but nooooo... gah.. stupid.. haha.. oh well.. waited like another hour... then we finally got in.. joined a tour cost 15 € for admission and stuff. and then went on a tour of the vatican museum.. it's pretty cool.. many raphael and the sistine chapel was crazy! michaelangelo is crazy good, even though he only sculpts... saw a fertility sculpture.. first you think it¨s like many boobs like all the other fertility ones.. then the tour guide tells it's all testis!! oh my goodness! ahaha... think about it... 25 or so testis on one guy.. hahaha .crazy.. hahaha... was gonna take a picture.. but then we left too fast haahhahah...

so at the sistine chapel anne and alix look at stuffn standing up and then me and wenky and lindsey sit down while looking cuz we'retired... after half an hour.. we're like i think we should find them.. and guess what! we can't! there are 2 exits.. one back into the museum.. and one out to st peters. we go to the museum one.. walk a bit.. can't find them.. turn back.. go out the exit... and can't see them.. go back.. then stupid guy stops us even though we waved to us when we came out.. and then he's liek can i see your ticket.. but so stupidly ANNE had my ticket... cuz i gave it to her to hold cuz i had no pockets....ssooo stupid.. and thne he's like hmm.. and then i'm like i'm looking for my friend with green an black hair.. ahahhah... i don't think he believed me.. i spoke really fast.. and then he started speaking italian to me... ?!? oookay hahaha.. then he got all confused and let me go in hahaha.. and so we did that.. like 3 times... both ways.. and just gave up.. we went to eat at a snack stand place.. cold pizza.. hahah oh wells sat on the steps for a really long time cuz we were really really tired.. and there was no shade in st peters square.. soooo stupid.. ahha had to sit like way outside of it.....oh well..

then since we brought long pants and cover shoulder shirts, we went to st peters church. it's funny, cuz many ppl had sleeveless shirts and short skirts, and they were let in.. hmm... they were all pretty girls.. hahaha does that say anything about the all male guards? hahaha.. they refused to let this guy in with a stroller cuz his shorts were like half a centimetre about the knee. hahah.. so stupid. but then yea.. st peters is sooo big! and awesome! la pieta is like whoa.. i took a picture beside a massive thingy of holy water.. haha very cool... well so coinkidinkally we found ANNE AND ALIX in the church!! coincidence? i think not! haha.. very cool, we went to eat ice cream after.. kinder flavoured ice cream... mmm... so yummy.. went back to the auberge cuz we bought heavy books, we were gonna go to the pantheon to see inside cuz we've only seen the outside, when we came out of the subway, this guy goes up to alix " hello what is you name?" alix says nothing but then anne's liek "BOB! what's your name?" "joseph" then anne's like " not like i'm gonna remember it" hahaha.. it was so funny...

once we got to the auberge, anne and me were playing with her makeup and then alix wenky and lindsey fell asleep, so we didn't go after all. other ppl came back, so we decided to go out dinner together near the bar they had gone to last night. but it wasn't time yet, so we decided to go for a stroll, saw some supposedly hot guys (like nick) and followed them to the supermarket where we saw their faces and realized they were old... well older... 30s? but they have really nice hair haha. like the commercial for the shampoo where the woman lies abou her age. haha. but yea, didn't buy anything saw purple hair dye, but then it was only semi-permanent so too bad! then dinner at this restaurant, mike kept on kicking wenky it was funny. we ordered some ravioli and crostino al salmone which we thought was pizza with salmon and croutons... but it wasn't ! it was toasted stale bread with salmon on top.. it was gross, so we ordered a mushroom pizza after we finished the grossness cuz the ravioli was gross too.. haha.

then we decided to go to trevi fountain again , and i made the same wish again wtih a quarter. hehe ... thne we were sitting there, jsut talking and stuff beside the fountain.. it was really hot so i put my hand in the fountain and since it was wet i wiped it on mike maclennan's pants. haha. then he splashed water all over my back! :@ it was WAR ahhahah.. but everytime i tried to get back at him, he saw me and then icouldn't so i planned with anne. i opened his shirt and anne dumped a handful of water down his shirt!! AHAHAHAH then he made a massive splash for us and it got EVERYBODY wet! ahhaha.. like everybody around even ppl we didn't know got soaked hahahah. it was hilarious cuz then after that wenky got mad, and splashed a handful of water in his face an dhe got completely soaked haha. it was great...

we went back to the auberge on the last metro train and then me jessica vanessa nick mike and zach went walking around in search of a bar, but i think that ppl have church on sunday so they close saturday night... pretty messed up but oh well! we found pizzeria and they bought beer there.. they got a little wheee hahaha... we were seeing when they would.. down to the label the labeL! ahahah it was funny... went back and everyone was asleep in odd positions.. so i slept and that was that
