Rome Day 2

On our second day in Rome Karena, Di, Rodney and Laura went to see the Pope. Shane, Ed and I went to the Pantheon, bought a few paintings, and met up with the group for a Vatican tour. The Vatican and St. Peter's Cathedral were amazing - over the top! We saw the Sistine Chapel but no photographs were allowed. It was incredible!

We headed for home the next day. All in all, a fantastic trip of a lifetime!
