Ok, so you got to see what I did over the weekend fun right, haha just kidding so here is what Monday and Tuesday look like I promise I am getting to today but that get a blog post of its own so just hang in there. I will get to it. Monday, wow I can't remember what we did Monday. Let me think......haha I remember (meaning I went and asked someone who did remember) We went to churches, Yes we went to more churches. We do a lot of that here, I love them but I can handle only so much art and churches and I think I have reached my max or almost. We saw the Ecstasy of St. Thersea that was an interesting piece. i wish I could explain some of these pieces in detail cause they are so unique, some of them really capture something special and I can't always put it into words. Ok, so Tuesday was the Borghese and Roman Reformation churches. I really liked the Borghese but we all agreed that it should be done before going to Florence and see the art work them cause nothing compares. It was interesting to see all of the Berini's there. I really like his work he puts life into stone. You can see skin and fur, you can see the tension on the people's faces. He truly is a master artist. So we did that and then we went and saw some Jesuit churches and the art work in there was incredible it was so over powering that in a way it was too much but that is something that will never leave me. There was one crucifix of Jesus that was different that ones seen before. He looked older and had a different look about him also it was more graphic with how the blood wad painted on and where. I don't know if I liked it or not but it was cool to see a different view of it. That was Monday and Tuesday of the last week in Rome. Ciao from Rome
