The Rome Trip

On April 14th, the 2009 Rome Trip began. We traveled seven hours by plane and three by bus to reach our first destination, Todi. From Todi we went on day trips to Orvieto, Assisi, and while going to Lucca, our next stop, we visited Cortona. After a wonderful day of shopping in Cortona, we arrived in Lucca. For two days we explored the city. After Lucca, we headed straight for Rome. In Rome, we toured the Vatican Museums on a private tour. We even saw the latest addition, an excavation of a necropolis, or “city of the dead”. This necropolis has burials from the pre-Christian to early Christian eras. We also attended a papal audience where we were only ten feet away from the pope. After listening to Pope Benedict XVI, we met our tour guide, Greg, for a tour of Rome. One of the most special parts of our trip was the tour of the Scavi which is an underground cemetery located beneath the current Vatican where St. Peter’s bones were found. We ended a wonderful trip with a night-time tour of Rome and a visit to the Trevi Fountain where we threw in our coins. Hopefully we will all return to Rome!
