I do not know how people visit Rome without feeling closer to God--it was just that powerful. There is so much to see...the basilicas (Santa Maria Maggiore, San Pietro in Vincoli, St. Peter's, Sistine Chapel), catacombs, ruins, Pantheon, Roman Forum, Spanish steps, Colosseum, Palantine Hill, Fountain of Four Rivers, Trevi Fountain, Egyptian obelisk, aqueducts, Appian Way, and more.
I did not have a bad meal in Rome; although, I was arguably less adventurous than Steven and restricted due to food allergies. Julia was generally happy with all her meals as well.
We talked a lot about Rome, the people, the sites, and comparisons with other European city trips. The history and art are incredible and can only be fully appreciated in person. America is so new and... blah... in comparison.
It was nice to be on vacation. We walked a lot--Steven lost 4 pounds!!
Recommendations: Go to Rome! Try a new gelato place after every meal!
