I spent a lazy morning at the apartment because I had only one task today, visit Palazzo Altemps (which used to be the apartments of the Ludovisi family.) I took a leisurely walk to the museum by way of a few twists and turns and attempting to stay in the shade. Only to get to the museum and be TURNED AWAY because I didn't have correct change for the ticket. The museum costs 7 euro and I only had a 10 euro bill. She told me to go ask the bookstore for change and before I could even get the words out she promptly said "NO CHANGE!" Bah. I was so frustrated. I just wanted to go to a freaking museum. What kind of a place doesn't have change when you want to visit a museum. Grrr!! I'm tempted to not even try and visit again, on principle. How are people suppose to get this mysterious change if no one will ever give it to you?
By this point in the morning I'm totally frustrated and upset so I went to Boromini's St. Agnes in Agony and sat staring at the beautiful architecture until I calmed down enough to function. This took like a half an hour or so becuase I was so trustrated and tired and all that stuff. Anyway, I decided to spend the rest of the morning church hopping so I went to San Luigi Francesci and spent about a half an hour gazing at the Caravaggios and then to Santa Maria sopra Minerva where I just spent some time gazing around the big, cool church. It was pretty nice. Tomorrow I will have to decide if I want to try again or if I want to just visit more churches.
