Well, if you do, book the Vatican Museum ahead of time, so you can get
in without standing in line for five hours or so.
Ditto The Bhorgese, with its many fine Bernini sculptures & a whole
room of Caravaggios!
Really, worth the extra cost, if there is any (I think we just had to
book the Bhorgese, but paid the same).
But were we ever glad we went at the end of May (& would go earlier
next time) & not in the heat of the summer, when it will be, I
suspect, really terrible.

In football the object is for the quarterback, also known as the field
general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense
by hitting his receivers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz,
even if he has to use shotgun. With short bullet passes and long
bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this
aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in
the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.
In baseball the object is to go home!
