Breaking Necks!

I find that the neck is one of the sexiest and most turning-on part of the body. Nyumm... especially if its soft, smooth, firm and smells incredibly good.. whoa syokk!~
But, no, I haven't had that pleasure in a while.. Saying that, I just ended up with a sore and tired neck. Why? Well, all the things in Rome I see are huge and you have to look up most of the time. Its a neck breaker. That got me thinking on necks. But I was most tested today, heading into the Vatican Museum. Its unlike any museums anywhere else in the world, unless its one of those archaeological places that turned into museums. I like museums, as long as they are not the commercialised type. The Vatican museum is exceptionally different, not because I'm religious or anything, but it was built along centuries.. It was a papal palace, and for those who does not already know, it houses the famous Sistine Chapel. The work of arts by Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, Bernini.. so many names.. so beautiful.. so gorgeous.. so little time.. so neck consuming..
We had to queue from 8:30 before the entrance opens at 10.. the later you go the longer the queue. When I saw long, its probably 3km. It had everything from the Egyptian era (since 4000BC) too the Greek empire and the Roman empire. You have sculptures of Achilles, Hercules, Medusa, Angels and what not, gods and goddesses, Julius Cesar, Mark Anthony, Ancient kings, Queens, Mistresses. Bronze sculptures, stone sculptures, fountains.. you name it. It like traveling back in time and I love world history.. If I had come here earlier, I would have been doing archeology and I get to travel around the world. Imagine that, now I'm just digging computers.. sigh..
The visit took the whole day I should say. And its a must if you ever come to Rome. There is still more places to see of ancient Rome that we have not been to and were leaving coming Sunday to Florence, then Venice, then Milan, then Pisa, then Back to Rome, before going down south to Lanciano, or Naples and Pompeii if we could.
I hope the rest of Italy is much cleaner and graffiti-less.
mood: mixed.. really mixed.
