MADDIE: Today was very rainy, from the time we woke up this morning and went to get pastries to, well, now. It's about 9:00 now and it's still raining. We went to the Pantheon today. That was planned but the rain wasn't. Neither was the amazing church we stumbled into on the way to the Panteon, or the gelato at about 1:00. Since it was rainig today, we didn't know if we would go to the Pantheon or not, but we decided to. We walked to the Pantheon because there were no Metro stops near it. We were almost there when we saw this big building. It was a church, so we decided to go in. We walked in, and it was breathtaking. It was one of the most amazing churches I had ever seen. The celings were covered with amazing paintings, and there were some awesome statues carved into the wall. They were so cool because the marble the statue were carved into was different colors and it was carved so well that it looked like the robes were actually wrinkled with the cloth flowing down around the people. There was also a giant cross with Jesus on it on the wall. It was really cool and powerful to look up at. When we left the church we found the Pantheon and went insde. The dome on the celing was
ginormous. Rain was coming through it into the middle of the Pantheon. We went to the bathroom at a McDonald's and a man came out of the women's bathroom. It was very suprising. Then we got gelato at a place with about a million flavors after we had been wandering around in the rain for a while. I had the most delicious flavor ever, and I'm not even sure what it was. Then we hopped on a cab because it was so rainy and went home. This evening we had delicious pizza and pasta at a restaruant. Tomorrow we go to Florence.
