We had an uneventful trip to Rome. The 7.5 hour flight went by quickly with the nice personal entertainment system on the plane. We all managed to get some of sleep. We spent the day getting to know the immediate area of where we are staying. It turned out the hotel had a family that expectantly needed to extend their stay, so they rented a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment for us on Via Gulia.
In the afternoon, we visited Vatican City with a walk through the Vatican Museum, which ends in the Sistine Chapel. It is truly an amazing work of art. Thanks to Karen’s tour book reading, we joined a tour for a shortcut to St. Peter’s Basilica. The late afternoon visit was improved with the Rick Steves audio tour app we downloaded onto our smartphones. A nice way to learn more about what we were looking at.

Hi! Everything sounds wonderful! Have you tried the pizza?
I am looking forward the next post, xoxo
So far, I’ve had pizza 4 times!!! Haha! 🍕🍕🍕🍕 See you soon!
😂😂😂 Pepperoni pizza? Jajaja I can’t wait to see you 🙂
Sadly, they don’t have pepperoni in Italy! 😢 Another reason why Spain is so much better!! Haha!
Do they still have the “Shhh! No photos!” guys in the Sistine Chapel? Glad you got there.
Need lots of pictures🍊
