while tess is telling you about yesterday and today, i'm going to tell you about our trip. we are on a tour/pilgrimage with 48 people associated with franciscan university in steubenville, ohio. about 20 people are from a parish in detroit while the rest come from all parts of the US . they are all wonderful people. we have a bus (with a personal bus driver) available to us every day and a private tour guide / escort from rome. we also have one person from the university that organizes everyone. we do most of the tourist visits as a group; but, we also have some time available on our own or with other small groups.
we only have a day in a half left before we head back home to Illinois. we're having a great time, we're getting lots of exercise, we're getting just enough sleep, and we're seeing some wonderful, historic sites. all in all, we're having a wonderful time. this afternoon, we're heading to the sistine chapel. should be cool.
our hotel in rome is very nice and very new.
a few other observations - the history in rome is amazing, finding a bathroom is difficult, the food is wonderful, the streets are narrow, and the people are fun to watch.
kids- sorry that we have not called. we do miss you and love you. we're anxious to see you.
ciao
