The Italian Connection Winter Term 2010

Finished our 5th day in Rome.  Armed with 7 day bus passes, we have seen quite a bit of the city.  Went to mass yesterday at St. Peter’s.  The pope was doing baptisms in the Sistine Chapel, but did come to his window and gave a blessing.  Been raining off and on, but not enough to stop our activities.

Went to Pompeii and was as fantastic as the first time.  Had a guided tour by the author of The Families Who Made Rome, Anthony Manjalahti, wonderful.
