Rome day three
What a wonderful day. We started by walking to the Vatican. There we had a 3 hour tour of the Sistine Chapel, Raphael's rooms, the Vatican museum and St. Peter's Basilica. It was truly overwhelming with all the history, art and beauty.
Kathie and Melodee continued the afternoon shopping and sight seeing (where do they get all that energy?). And Terry and I returned to the hotel to rest up for the evening.
Last evening we took a bus ride to a fabulous restaurant, tucked away somewhere in Rome. They fed us great food, served us great wine and entertained us with song and music. We dined with a very nice couple from Atlanta. After which, we got on the bus to view Roma at night. We stopped at the Trevi fountain to see it all lit up in the night time. It was more beautiful than yesterday in the sunlight.
All four of us are in love with Rome and finding it a little sad to leave her. We are packed now (Friday morning) and getting ready to head to Civitavecchia by bus to catch our ship.
Tomorrow morning is Monte Carlo!

Jeff and Mel - those photos are fabulous. Can't even say how envious I am as that superlative is yet to be created. I am sure it is even more wonderful there. Have a blessed, safe, and educational time. Educational seems to apply as how can you not learn so much about earlier times with so much history around you. Thinking of you often!
