We really need one more day in Rome. We had two major museums crammed in to today. First up was the Borghese Museum. This is a beautiful Villa located in the middle of a park. It actually used to be the estate of the Borghese family, a wealthy, politically and religiously connected family from the 1500's. This happens to be one of my favorite museums. First off it is a beautifully decorated palace. Next, it is home to some very famous and beautiful sculptures by Bernini. Then there are the paintings! Carravagio, Donatello, Titian, Rubens, and Rafaels.
Then to Popolo Square for lunch. Everyone took off and did their own thing and then met back at the bus to go to Vatican City. We toured this museum and saw the amazing art, tapestries, maps and of course the Sistine Chapel. The tour guide moved pretty quick but today I think that was a good thing, the kids were starting to get museum-ed out!
Dinner was a nice lasagne and salad near Navona square. We are finally home and the kids are beat!
