I love Roma. Let's see here. The first day we got here, Andy took us on a whindy tour of the city and we ended up seeing all of it. We just weren't up close. We were on a hill. Yesterday, we saw the vatican. St. Peter's is awesome, it was so much bigger than I thought. We actually climbed up the Dome in-betweeen the two layers. I freaked out a little it was totally weird because the stairs going up were slanted like the dome. We worked out a little italian to get by, but Christine is picking it up really fast and really well. I wish I could just keep her next to me during the whole trip. Today we went to San Clemente Capella. It was really cool. They excuvated it and found a 1st centuray pagan household. We went inhto the sub chapel with the spring where the Patriarch was on his visit. It was cold but very peaceful. We also went to the catacombs which was cool but shorter then I was hoping for.
Write more later...
