Rome, Italy.
Ah, when in Rome. You know how you have images in your head before you visit a place? And usually they are skewed by movies? Well, Rome was pretty spot on. Thanks Woody Allen for the sneak peak in To Rome With Love.
Favorite Memory
While walking to Vatican City (I know… that sounds very strange), we were complaining. We realized we had planned to visit Vatican City on a Sunday… and everything would be closed! After walking uphill, sweating and complaining some more we heard a voice. It was God telling us to quit complaining. I kid, I kid… It was the Pope! Telling us not to complain! No really though, it was Pope Francis… giving shout outs to the crowd in true Pope of the People style. How cool is that? We got to see/hear him live! We had no clue what he was saying… but still!
