Rome - A 'Personal' Kind Of Tour

Today was separated into various activities for several large groups. 

The biggest group of people (Holden & Duncan, included) went to the Vatican for an opportunity to be in the Papal Audience.  As it turns out… the boys ended up being close enough to Pope Francis to practically touch him (no exaggeration).

Several of us chose to go off on our own and take our own tour of Rome.  And man did we see a lot!  The very first thing we did was make a b-line to The Colosseum.  And it was awesome!  Inside and out, it is nothing short of a marvel!  We also saw The Forum, The Spanish Steps, Trevy Fountain --- to name just a few.

Later in the afternoon, our own little ‘tour group’ stole back to the hotel and spent some time pool-side. It’s hot here in Rome!
