Undicesimo Giorno - It's cool guys just leave me...again, Musei Vaticani AND free Lady Gaga in Circus Maximius!
Today we went to the Vatican Museum and yet again, I somehow got lost from the group and had to take the subway by myself to meet them. Luckily the line to get in was very long so I spotted them in line and it was fine. Now I'm going to be honest, I really didn't think the Vatican Museum was anything too special. I was really excited to see the sistine chapel and it was kind of a let down. The whole museum was overcrowded and confusing to get around. Once we were in the Sistine Chapel there were too many people for me to really appreciate the amazing place I was in and the guards were yelling at everyone. It made me feel like I was in a prison or something like that, so unfortunately I don't really have much to say about this day. But at night I went to a FREE lady gaga concert in circus maximus. Circus Maximus is a huge field/ open park that was used by the Romans for chariot races and sacrifices of animals and humans, it is near the forum and the coliseum. So, yet again I was blown away by the fact that I got to see a free concert by a world famous artist in a place where people used to live and have entertainment millions of years ago. Also, because Lady Gaga's song "edge of glory" had become our theme song for the trip and then she happened to be playing for free in Rome, (I'm telling you there was some kind of power watching over our group.) Anyway, it was amazing and a once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget! I'm definitely on the edge!
