We only had a day to spend in Rome -- and it was again a beautiful spring day! So we started off with a stop at the Spanish Steps and then continued on to the Trevi Fountain to toss in a coin -- and wish for more time the next time we are here!




Rome on a 3 day weekend was crawling with people, so we saw all of our favorite places from the second level of the Big Red Bus! We finished up at St. Peter's in time for 5 PM Mass in the Basilica -- what a beautiful way to end the day.

The ship hosted a wonderful dinner that evening at Santo Spirito, a 14th century hospital, just steps away from the Vatican. We had a great dinner with lots of wine and were entertained by a harp quartet followed by a superb performance by two tenors and a soprano from St. Cecilia Institute of Music!

Hard to believe you're on the home stretch! We're still following along with wonder and amazement at all you've seen and done. Give La Coruna a special hello from me--my mom and grandparents were born there. Would love to be on that part of the journey with you. Well, ok, not just that part...
Happy travels!

Hi George and Ann,
Really enjoyed your travel comments - a travel host/commentator could be your next career! We want to visit some of those places in Spain- looks wonderful.
Look forward to your return to get together, after you get re-settled.
