This morning we spent our time in Ancient Rome around the Forum and Coliseum, while also visiting the very prison that Saints Peter and Paul were together imprisoned. After lunch we are off to St. Mary Major for Mass and a tour. The weather is surely warm, but with overcast skies it has been quite reasonable.
The pilgrims have been champions when it comes to a number of challenges we have faced. Everything from walking an extra 1.4 miles today to our restaurant, angry Coliseum guards accusing of budging (which we kinda did) and kicking us out of the line to go to the back, and no bathrooms for three hours this mornings. I am very excited to spend the next week and a half with this crew! I have already had religious sisters and other American travels compliment the students and how happy they are and respectful. I am very impressed with their discipline and response to the pilgrimage thus far. God bless!
