The first several days of the trip have been wonderful, and exhausting... wonderfully exhausting. After our lengthy plane ride over, during which I personally did not sleep, we were treated to a day of sightseeing and a guided tour. I felt like such a tourist, going to such requisite tourist havens such as the Colosseum and the Forum, guided by our new good friend and tourguide, Ned, a man who had the voice of a news anchor and fought fiercely with guards to earn us entry into reserved places.
To end the day, which for many of us had been around 26 hours straight, we all tucked into beds not quite so soft as Luther's, but I think I can say without exception, that not a single one of us cared that night.
Over the last couple of days, we have been privileged to see St. Peter's Cathedral, the Vatican Museum, the Pantheon, the Baths, Spanish Steps and Giolitti, the source of the most incredible gelato in the world, no joke.
Soon we leave for Assisi, and hopefully I will find some one else from this trip to elaborate on those days. Till then,
Karl
