Rome

The Eternal City: eternally crowded, dirty, noisy, crazy trafic, hot, hot & hot... But hey, it's ROME! The Vatican was spectacular, with magnificent art by all the rock stars of history - Michaelangelo, Boticelli, Boromeo Caravaggio, etc., etc. The climb up to the top of the Cupola di Basilica St. Pietro was hot, hard and claustrophobic, but well worth it, sharing the spectacular view with 75 of our newest friends. We're off to the Coliseum, ciao!
