We have been so busy that the time just seems to blur. Officially I have to say that Rome kicked my ass. There are unbelievable things to see here the churches the Colosseum. And yes, we had great adventures. We walked miles and miles. We had one of the greatest had T-bone steaks that were unbelievable. It’s an Italian beef. ( our tour company periodically buys us great dinners) but there are so many people in Rome that it’s almost like a pilgrimage in with 10s of thousands of people coming to see the works of art here. I’ve seen it. I’ve enjoyed it. Fought through the crowd and I’m thankful for the opportunity. Rome is crossed off the list.

guess estimated was there were 75,000 people in saint Peter square.. can imagine without the temps in the 100
