My host mother Alessandra told me on Sunday that she had work in Rome on Tuesday, and asked if I wanted to go. Well, of course!!! We had an early morning flight from Cagliari, and Alessandra took me to the subway when we got into the city and I spent the morning at the Vatican, which was incredible! I got to visit Pope John Paul II's tomb, the Cupola, St. Peter's Square, La Pieta by Michelangelo, the Vatican museum, and the Sistine Chapel. Then after an exhausting morning of walking, I took the subway back to meet Alessandra, who had just finished her meeting. Then we went to the Fontagna di Trevi, and made wishes with Euros. Afterward, we took the subway and then the train back to the airport and flew home that evening. I will have another trip again in June and I can hardly wait!!! The pictures are of me in front of Michelangelo's Pieta, and the other is of Alessandra making a wish at the Fontagna di Trevi.
Casey, that is BEYOND way cool! Wow! I am happy for you and proud of you! You are so brave to go and find your way around Rome by yourself! And all the things you got to see in one day! I LOVE the famous Pieta behind you in the picture. How cool is that? You're amazing!
