Rome day 7

Today was a Rome Pizza tour where we say the church of the Virgin Mary. Impressive when you consider wood from Jesus' manger is in it.  Then the capitaline museum. ONE MORE DAY.







Rome day 6

Today consisted of the Vatican' St. Peter's basilica where we saw St. Peter's tomb and dead popes in wax. Plus some magnificent art. (Thanks to the Americas for their gold to help build it). Plus a ride in a double decker bus touring the city and dinner at Hard Rock Cafe

Rome trip day five.

Today we saw the catacombs where 500,000 Christians were buried.  We also saw the first paved road in history The Appian Way. Finished the morning with the aqueducts.   In the evening we had a leisurely dinner and made another trip to see the Colosseum.  It really is spectacular!  So glad to be able to share this with Courtney.
