have we mentioned that the keyboards are different in italy so it is difficult to type. after a late evening, we woke up at 5:30 this morning so that we can have mass as a group at st peters. st peters bascilica is unbelievable. it is ginormous and the artistry is so beautiful and so precise. we had mass in an Hungarian crypt in the basement of St Peters. after mass, we were able to see the tombs of St Peter, Pope John Paul II, and several other popes. We are definitely on holy ground. after mass, we took a tour of the vatican gardens. it was a two hour walk through gardens, trees, fountains, etc. it was massive and spectacular. after the tour, there was approximately a two hour wait just to get into st peters. we're glad that we woke up early.
we now have a few hours of free time before we have another tour followed by a group dinner.
special thanks to grandma and grandpa kabbes. hope that all is well and that you're enjoying the extra time with the kids. we really really really appreciate all that you are doing.
steven, allie, michael, james, katie and elizabeth. we miss you and cant wait to see you. cant wait to hear how you are doing.
our cell phone is not working so we'll do our best to call again.
arrevederci
p.s. to look more italian, i've decided to buy tight jeans, a scarf, thick glasses, and grow a two day old beard. finally, we're going to try to buy some really small cards. just kidding ...
