July 20th Arrived in Rome on time (early actually), found our hotel, which is wonderful. Has an old lift(ie. elevator) like the one in Thoroughly Modern Millie (movie). Went to see the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Learned alot about the Roman history and culture. Very interesting.
July 21st Saw Vatican City with a tour. Had a great tou guide from South Dakota (of all places) and was amazed with the beauty and wealth. Learned alot about Michelangilo (not sure how to spell) and saw the Sistine Chapel where he painted the walls and ceiling. Saw lots of art and sculpture. Later we went to the Spanish steps and walked into the cathedral where the priests and nuns were singing. Very beautiful. Also, went to the Fontina (fountain) de Trevi and tossed a coin in so I can return to Rome some day (supposedly).
We have had some great food (pizza and pasta) and great desserts.
