Ah, we've finally caught up to today.
Originally, we were going to go to the Catacombs. But this weird guy on the street told us we had to buy a different ticket to go outside of Rome on the bus, so we decided not to go.
First, we went on the metro to the Mouth of Truth, which is a statue of a giant face that, legend says, will bite your arm off if you tell a lie while it is in there. Turns out it's not true. :(
Next, while my mom went walking along the river, my dad, brother and I went to the Church of Bones, which is a whole collection of contraptions and objects made of skeletons and bones, all done by one monk with the bones of his brothers. Unfortunately, there were no photos allowed, but it was so cool! There were skeletons sitting in niches, covered by robes, and chandeliers made of bones!
Finally, we all went to Vatican City, intent on going to the Crypt underneath St. Peter's. Unfortunately, the line was super long, so we didn't go. However, we did get ice cream (yay) and then went home! And...here we are!
Tomorrow: After three weeks, finally going home!
