So yesterday I went to Pompeii and the day before that I went to the Villa Borghese, to describe the latter I'm going to quote the famous and imfamous Dominic Galante:


""sildhfuurfdfvkdjfnvfkjdfsdfbsdkjfbjksdf"
that's me spazing at the idea of the Borghese Museum."


and it's true. That museum was amazing. It's probably one of the harder museums to get into just because you have to book it, like, 4 days in advance. Plus it's also one of the most exspensive tapping out at 13 euros, roughly 16 dollars. But just like a cut of perfect steak the experience is totally worth it. It's situated in the middle of a really pretty park, with a series of other museums out there as well. But the Galleria Borghese is clearly the Tyranasaurus in the land of giants.

My favorite part you ask? An entire museum full of Caravaggios and Berninis. I'm going to repeat that.
AN ENTIRE MUSEUM FULL OF CARAVAGGIOS AND BERNINIS

at the site of Apollo and Daphne I think I passed out just a little.

The detailing on the fingers was amazing, the myth is that a woman turns into a tree to escape being captured by the god Apollo. If you're into Baroque, you gotta go. Also apparently not everyone is into Baroque, (bad joke comming) which I find hard to believe (it's on it's way) because if it's not Baroque (here it comes) don't fix it. (ouch)

They don't allow you to take pictures in the Museum so just to give you a taste here's the website. (Pictures included)
