ROMA

Rome, Nov 17, 2010


I Just wanted to get a quick update in tonight as I am exhausted after a long day in Rome. It turned out to be a better than expected day. We had no real plans to visit the Vatican this trip except for the visit to the Necropolis under St Peters Basilica at the end of the day…AWESOME By the way. We got off the train at the Vatican just so we would be able to find the train station on the way home. Well it turns out that that the Pope was going to make an appearance. I Figured since we are here let’s wait the 45 minutes behind this barricade and catch glimpse of the pontiff. Little did I know that we were on the POPE MOBILE SUPER HYWAY!!! He passed within 3 feet of us blessing us along the way……How cool was that added bonus to the trip.

I will update more later….Naples tomorrow. Then a well needed relaxing day at sea. PS Cell phone service ship not working as expected. I think it is because we are staying in Italian waters and not hitting international ones.
