Its our final day in Roma. The morning was spent checking in for our flights tomorrow and how that all transpires. We spent the afternoon at The Pantheon and visiting several churches around our part of Roma. Its 5pm local time. We will be catching a cab at 5:30 am tomorrow for an hour cab ride to the airport then the flight leaves at 9:15am. We fly Rome to Atlanta 11 hours then to Portland 6 hours. So now is the other tough part of the trip … The long flight home … It has been a wonderful trip. I will post pics online this coming weekend…. We are all ready to be home …
Ben and Marty having one last glass of chianti…


Hope you have a great flight back home to the good young USA
What a fantastic trip you’ve had!
Its been fun! Did you see the picture of us in the “secret” passageway? Under “saving the best for last”?? Talk to you soon!
Yes, I saw that! Now you are among the ten or eleven people in the world who know about it (and four of them were popes).
Glad your trip was so good. Welcome home!
🙂 actually, it really did seem to be a secret passage. There were tons of people in tje chapel when we were there and very few knew the secret! it’s good to be home. Traveling is exhausting!
And I’m ready to have you home!! Arrivederci Italia!! Benvenuto Portland!! See you soon everyone! Buon viaggio tutti!!
We are really ready to be home – although italians are pretty great, as you know. We just had an interaction with a guy (shop owner) a couple of hours ago. He was trying to teach Marty some italian. It was hilarious. But home is home!!! See you soon!
