So far, Rome has been amazing. We’ve mostly been spending our free time wandering around the city, visiting a lot of beautiful churches (including three of the Catholic Church’s four major basilicas) and historic locations. We also went to a Mass celebrated by the Pope and visited the catacombs and a Capuchin crypt. It’s been a very busy week, but it was worth it, and I can’t wait to see what the rest of the month brings.
