Our B&B was very close to the entrance to the Vatican Museums (there are many) and we indulged in a museum tour with earphones and a guide. She spoke excellent English, born and raised in Rome, and appeared to have an advanced art history education. The tour lasted all morning and we ate at the museum and went back for more. Finally in the late afternoon Liz, David and Spring hiked around the Vatican wall to attend mass at St Peter’s Basilica while Shan and Janna retired to an excellent gelateria. Then, to balance our collective cultures we took a cab to the Jewish Ghetto and indulged in our new favorite food (fried artichoke) before catching yet another cab to the train station and finally home to Cetona. What a great Roman holiday. Our deepest thanks and gratitude to Shan and David for helping us experience it so deeply.
Wow, sounds like you know how to have a great time! Eat some food for us. xoxo LAXO from Zion National Park.
