from Bulverde, Texas to Rome Italy ... but we knew it would be.
Second the Rome security and customs is WAY faster than Vancouver ...
but how can it be slower?
Other than long and a bit cramped for the 8+ hour flight from Newark the
travel went very smooth We arrived at our hotel about 9:45am Saturday
and our travel companions showed up about 10:45am all went as planned.
We hopped on a bus and rode down to the Vatican

sadly learning we were too late to get into the Sistine Chapel
(well unless we wanted to pay $50 each for a "semi-private group of 25
tour...) we decided to see the Basilica on our own ... WOW!!!

The whole thing is breathtaking and I can't begin to describe the sheer
SIZE of the place ...
We will fill in more details later ... kinda late Saturday night and
still no sleep ... we did go to the Trevi Fountain ...

wowie wow wow! That is so amazing that you guys are THERE! Enjoy it! I am glad all travel has gone as planned. Disfrute!
You're a punk. I remeber reading about this in all my art hist. classes back at UIW. All I can say is I am jealous. I can't belive you are actually there. In person! My mouth drops to the floor just seeing the pictures.
On other news it is relieving to know you got there just fine. Hope you get some sleep.
