Day 16 - Rome

Today we went to the Ara Pacis. The Ara Pacis an altar in Rome dedicated to Pax, the Roman goddess of Peace. It was discovered broken into hundreds of pieces and then and pieced together at a site by the river.

From the Ara Pacis we went to lunch via the Palace of Justice and Castel Sant'Angelo.

After lunch we technically went to another country - the Vatican. We wondered the halls of the Vatican museum seeing priceless and countless works of arts from so many great masters. The Sistine Chapel was a highlight, along wih the Raphael rooms, the Gallery of Maps, The Gallery of Statues and the Papal Throne.

After the Vatican we were all exhausted so headed back to the hotel for the night.
