Today was a great day! We went on a tour of the Capitoline Museum this morning and these are a few pictures from that. The Capitoline Museum is on the Capitoline Hill which is one of the seven hills of Rome. It is right next to the Palatine Hill where Rome was founded, and the image of the ruins is the view of the Palatine Hill from the Capitoline Hill. The museum itself was fabulous, definitely a must-do when in Rome. Although our tour guide was not the best, the museum had one amazing room after another. We all loved it.
From there we went to the beach! I think today was our last opportunity because the weather is slowing cooling down, so I am glad we took the chance. 10 of us hopped on the train which takes you about 30 minutes outside of the city. The beach was absolutely beautiful. Because it was a Friday we almost had the place to ourselves. We all hoped that we would be able to get a lot of reading done while we were there, but of course we couldn't resist the water and just a general break from the busy city. We headed back to Rome a little bit earlier than we would've liked because the weather started to look stormy, and then we all realized just how much work we have this weekend! Surprisingly enough almost everyone is staying in tonight to work while Romans are outside our window partying the night away.
Today was great because we all just decided to take it easy for a day. It was a much needed opportunity to relax, and where better to relax than on a beach in Italy?
