A Long, Sunny Day...

Today was very eventful. We did a lot of walking. So much so that the bottoms of my feet are still really sore--which probably has something to do with the hard, uneven cobblestone.

But we saw some really interesting things. The first thing we visited was Trajan's market and column.

After that we went to see Michelangelo's Moses--considered to be one of his greatest works--in the Church on San Pietro in Vincoli. It is also where the chains believed to have held Peter are housed.

From there, we went to another church containing Michelangelo's Risen Christ, which is often considered controversial, and is not always well liked because of its unusual representation of Christ. This church also contained the body of Saint Catherine.

And after all of our long, exhausting trekking throughout Rome, we were rewarded with some gelato from our Art History professor!
I also included in the pictures below, our trip a couple days before to the Pantheon and the Ara Pacis.
