July 4th - Rome

Happy 4th all you folks back in the USA... Today we made it to ROME!!! Rome was Great - We went to the Trevi fountain and our wish to come back came true - See next blog... The fountain was beautiful. We then walked through Ancient Rome - Which was really cool to see - I took a ton of pictures. It is amazing to see the city built all around this ancient world. Then we went to the Colleseum and climbed up. It was huge. And to think it was built by hands... This was all so hard to comprehend with the tools and machines we have today. The Colleseum took only 8 years to build. We loved it.

We had a great lunch somewhere in Rome - An italian reastaurant. Then on to the Vatican... St Peters was awesome, breathtaking. Mom loved it. The Square and the church were incredible. We even took some pictures of a pope - Long dead.

Then we headed back to the ship to see how the Propeller repairs were going...
