ROMA!!!!

On Saturday we left Hotel Salicone bright and early for a day trip to Rome. We got dropped off at Vatican City and the sight was amazing. The center was filled with people from all over the world. We waited in line to enter St. Peter’s Basilica. It was massive and the architecture and paintings were breathtaking. Some of the group made there way into the Sistine Chapel to view Michelangelo’s magnificent artwork. Some of the historic sights we visited include: Piazza Venezia, Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, the Constantinian Arch and the Pantheon. Of course a little shopping in the local stores along the way was on our agenda. After 5 hours of walking around we boarded the bus back to Norcia and had dinner at our hotel. We enjoyed music and a glass of Italian wine across the street from our hotel. It was a long day!
