It's so hot!

Milk was a bad choice...
I broke my vow to eat all meals in Italy outside today in favor of a few minutes of air conditioning at lunch.


A mosaic floor in the Vatican Museum.

We went to the Colosseum early enough to beat some of the heat, but by the time we got to the Forum I was melting. And after a few hours all the ruins started looking alike. We spent the afternoon at the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel. Which was nothing like I pictured in my head. You enter and exit via the Vatican Museum too so you get no sense of it being a chapel, just another room in the museum. I mean, just another room containing one of the greatest works of art in the world. No biggie.
