Can't throw a rock around here and not hit some art. Or a gelato place.
Across from our super cool airbnb is a building with a crumbling fresco on the top floor (3 or 4 floors up). It's beautiful, probably centuries old and in such disrepair and so neglected that it's even more beautiful. Who painted it? Who lived there? Who remembers? No one. But that just adds to its sublimity. It's the essence of Rome to me right now, a dirty, touristy city with such undeniably antiquity and majesty in every feckin corner. I can't look away.
Tomorrow is the king daddy of churches - our Vatican tour. Might try to squeeze in that Armor exhibit too at the Castel next door. If not tomorrow, then Tuesday.
It's a little pricier than Firenze here. A lot of aggressive tourist hustlers. That's always exhausting.
We were so close to the Pantheon last night. Missed it by one church. We got our legs under us now tho. The first night was confusin with the rainstorm. Might rain tomorrow too.
