St. Peter’s Basilica
Sunday we went to mass at St. Peter’s, no time for a real tour. Monday we toured the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, again, no time for a tour of the basilica. So, today we altered our schedule and went back to St. Peter’s. Many of us climbed the more than 400 steps to the top of the dome. Fantastic view of Rome, and the sun came out just for us!
Tonight a real treat, a performance at the Accademia della Sancta Cecelia. Mahler’s “Das Lied von der Erde” and a world premiere of another work.
Took our first ride together as a group on the subway, only two lines and very simple. It is so much quicker that the bus, but, so limited. When getting around the city, allow lots of extra time!
Ciao!
