When in Rome







Greetings from room 116. Great golly what a day! Full of laughter, tears, and the occasional sweat stain. Naturally, we kicked off the day with another faith deepening mass in St. Peter's Basilica. Despite our inability to fully comprehend the Italian dialect, we trusted that the priests words in his homily held great spiritual value. Immediately following, we made our way out to Vatican Square where we were able to pray the Angelus with The Holy Father...who was streaming live from his summer home eighteen miles up the rode. Nevertheless, it was an inspiring experience, and we are looking forward to seeing him in person.
After testing the cultured waters of Italy for so long, we decided to dine at a highly recommended Americana cafe, also known as the Hard Rock Cafe. We then skipped on back to our humble abode but not too quick, for we were able to steal some deals at a highly posh boutique in the area. Back at the hotel, cat naps were greatly appreciated and to everyone's dismay, pasta was not served for dinner. Later we made our way to the monastery down the rode for a peaceful adoration and ended the night with nothing more than sleep.~ Collaborative effort of Lindsey, Gaillard, and Callie
