Love playing tourist in Rome! Spent the day visiting some of my favorite places- the holy steps , the vatican to visit Pope Leo and get a blessing for the new year, Santa Maria maggiore where Pope Francis’ remains are found, Santa Maria travestere- a restful basilica and a great area to have lunch and the basilica of st Augustine where the remains of St Monica are found.
Finishing my day with dinner with a spectacular view of the colosseum! Simply breathtaking!
Calling it a day as I have to lecture early :)) Spent a simply blessed day in one of the most beautiful cities in the world!
