Day 2 in Rome

Well many of my guidebooks said 1 to 3 days in Rome is enough and now I agree. It is way to big, crowded and hard to get around. Last night I walked from my hotel about a mile or so to get some pizza and then came back and sat on my deck to watch the sunset. I was in bed before 8 and up at 7 thirty (I cant find some keys on this board so please excuse the mistakes)
Today I took the free shuttle into town center to find a tour bus and instead found that there were demonstrations at the center (where ever that is) and the tour buses were all cancelled. Instead I took the Metro and went to the Vatican museum and St Peters church. The Vatican was spectacular - there are no words to describe it. It is much much much larger and more amazing than even the Louvre. The Sistine chapel goes on and on and on with more art and sculpure that you can ever imagine. It was very impressive. I took lots of pics. Then I had to have gelati - yummy ice cream. Im trying to find the metro again so I can do more touring on my own.
By the way, my hotel room is the best Ive ever seen. I took lots of pics of it also. It is like being in a museum. The bathroom is sooo cool, but I did get the Hot (c) and Cold (f) faucets mixed up when I took my bath - had to totally refill my tub.
So far I have had no problems except for getting ripped off on a cup of capaccino. I fumed about it but finally decided it was my own fault. I paid 80 cents for the same cup yesterday and 4.5 euros today (about $7.50) I learned a hard lesson - to ask first.
I am looking forward to more touring but Im also looking forward to leaving Rome. I dont think I am interested in coming back here. Once is enough - but I still have lots to see and I will enjoy that. I hope to find the Trevi fountain because I loved the movie 3 Coins in a Fountain.
More later -
