We have arrived in Rome, Italy! I had some fantastic pictures of us on the plane and in the airport. But for some reason they are lost in cyber space.
Today was breath taking. Cannot believe how much we packed into the first day. We saw Michelangelo's Moses, the chains of Saint Peter, The Colosseum, the Arch of Constantin, the Roman ruins, The Piazza Emmanuel and the Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran. My feet are very tired. We left the hotel at 7:00am this morning and were back for dinner at 7pm. I've had pasta four times and gelato twice. I'd say we have a good rhythm going.

Touring the ancient ruins brought stories of Biblical times to life.
Our tour guide is Susanne. She has studied all over the world. I'll give you more of a biography on her later.
While walking around Rome today I was constantly looking up. This city has a way of getting your eyes to always look to the heavens.
Tomorrow is a "free day" and a Sunday. We are going to head to the Vatican and Saint Peter's for church!
Cio!
