Coliseum
Pantheon
Trivi Fountain
St. Peter's SquareI am so happy that my CD full of Roman pictures came in the mail last night!
Our day in Rome was a whirl-wind... we hit so many places in such a short time. We covered the Coliseum, the Pantheon, Caesar's Palace, the Roman Forum, Trivi Fountain and the Vatican City (including the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica, St. Peter's Square and the Vatican Museum.) Along the way we also stopped for some yummy bread and sausage sandwiches and then managed to find another gelato store on the way home :) We started at 8:00 am and was back on the ship by 5:30, with 2 hours in the car from the port.... so needless to say, we were speedy. Rome was definitely one of my favorites. I think because I grew-up in such a strong Catholic community, and finally being able to see the roots of everything we based our faith around… it was really neat. I’m pretty sure I was the only one in our group with energy for the Vatican City; everyone else was getting a little droopy. Our driving guide, Antonello was awesome. He was so informative and so well traveled; I think James had a little crush on him. (And was personally baptized by the pope!)
