Heavy rain

At half past ten we visited the Vatican Museum and Galleries together. Though it was my fourth visit I still found it enjoyable. I also felt the time was so brief, as there were so many good things there. At two we returned to the Embassy to have lunch.

In the afternoon we visited the Forum, the Coliseum, St, Paul’s Cathedral, The Abbey of the Three Fountains. At half past five we returned to the city, and saw Trevi Fountain and the Column of Marcus Aurelius.

We walked in the city and bought a souvenir. At eight we returned to the Embassy.
