We went to the Vatican Museum today. The metro was closed for some reason, so we had to take a cab instead. Last time we went, the line into the museum was horrendous, this time it was nonexistent. The galleries were incredible, unfortunately the Sistine Chapel was closed, because there was still "Cardinal Juice" everywhere. Too bad Abe the Art HIstory minor missed it.

Emily went shoe shopping near the Vatican, then did some more shopping near the Jewish Ghetto. We visited a Chocolateria near the Piazza Navona while waiting for the pizza restaurant to open. Emily got a no sugar added hot chocolate drink, which tasted phenomenal. The pizza restaurant was something I had been looking forward to for a while, because the book said that it was the best in the city. And boy was it good! Although the mushroom pizza near Piazza del Popolo was just as good if not better.

Abe went to an Irish Pub at 1:00 am to watch the Boston Red Sox game. He got waisted and met some chick who also liked his team. They hit it off right away, and made out a little bit. When they left, she wouldn't kiss him goodbye (probably because he was obnoxiously drunk). He stumbled back to the hotel at 4:30, woke us up with the story, fell asleep, and kept us awake with his snoring.
