District Meeting

What a fun week! We started off with District meeting Monday morning. We made a birthday/farewell cake for Sorella Bradford, Sorella Mikesell, and Elder Budd—(Mikesell goes to Bari and Budd to a town by Naples).

Spanish Steps with Jenner & Mimi

Mimi & Jenner Visit Us in Rome


Friday evening we went to the train station and picked up our first family guests, Greg’s Sister Meridith Marcucci and her husband Jenner, from Florida.  We enjoyed a night walk with them from the Spanish Steps to the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain.

Gelato!

Of course, we had to stop for Gelato!











Saturday we visited the Colosseum, St. Peter’s Square, and the Sistine Chapel!  Wow the Romans were amazing engineers. Jenner encouraged us all to climb to the top of St. Peter’s Basilica, which was an elevator ride and 323 steps between the inner and out wall of the dome. Now we can say we have seen Rome from the top of the world!
