Our Rome visit was well-timed. The crowd in the Vatican was much smaller compared to the week earlier, when Pope Jean Paul II was buried, or the week that followed, when successor Benedict XVI was elected.

Our group had the privilege to hear mass at St. Peter's Basilica celebrated by Fr. Joe Fenech. Three days in Rome is not much, especially in pouring rain, but we made good use of our time to see Castel Sant'Angelo, San Giovani Laterano, the Coloseo, the Pantheon, and the Fontana Di Trevi.
