On Thursday, 27 August, Bo and I took the super-duper-fancy (expensive) excursion from the dock in Civitavecchia into the Eternal City. Our group was small, with seven other persons including John & Lisa, Mary, Gail and Jeff from Sacramento, a couple from New York and two lovely tour guides. We saw the Coliseum (only slightly older than the one in L.A.) then stopped for a fun and funny group lunch. After the meal we went to the Vatican Museum, the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Square (which is actually key-hole shaped) and St. Peter’s Basilica. The Sistine Chapel was amazing and about what I expected, but St. Peter’s Basilica was mind-blowing. Each work of art was more breathtaking than the next. It’s difficult to believe that humans created these masterpieces. Rome is magnificent.
