At home I do almost all of the grocery shopping. As the person who does the vast majority of the cooking and lunch packing, I like to choose what I have at my disposal. I also have the most time to manage menu planning and cooking at home.
However, when we are in a foreign country and language is a barrier I send Morgan. I’m always a little curious at what he will come back with. Sometimes it’s something he likes that I generally don’t buy and wasn’t aware he preferred it. Other times it’s just interesting what you find in a different culture.
This is our loaf of bread. Morgan said there was even bigger but he settled for this one. The kids don’t really like it as it takes a lot of muscle power to chew but I prefer it over the typical sandwich bread.

We visited Vatican City. There is a massive museum filled with statues and other art pieces along with amazing paintings, tapestries and sculpting on the walls and ceilings.
This ceiling was painting to make it look sculpted. You could have fooled me.
We were very excited to see the famous statute of Joel. It has retained its colour very well over the years.
We walked up to the cupola of the dome at St Peter’s basilica and then a few hundred more steps to the very top of the dome where there was a great view. The steps were quite narrow and the walls were slanted in some spots.
This is the square where the pope says hi to the world.
We also went through the Sistine Chapel but were not allowed to take pictures. We learned a lot about the Catholics and the popes and saw a lot of history. It was another good day in Rome.
