Day Three: After a wonderful nights sleep, we meandered down to breakfast around 10am.

Barbara once again packed us a picnic for the train; another delicious prosciutto sandwich! The ride was about an hour and …
Day Sixteen Today was an early day with a 5am wake-up call. It was going to be a big day with a tour of the Vatican! We walked over to the Via Nazionale to hail a taxi. Driving through the still mostly slumbering city, we made our way to Piazza del Risorgimento to meet our …
