Amare Roma

We had a glorious time seeing the historical sites of Rome, and enjoying the food and culture.  We all took a gladiator training class with the historical society of Rome, and we even got to see the Pope on one of our visits to the Vatican! My favorite part was wandering the small windy streets and discovering the quaint galleries, shops, and cafes.  Plenty of yummy pasta, good wine and refreshing gelato was consumed!
