Day 6 - Rome
I woke up with a smile on my face. I had wanted to be in Rome for a really long time and I was finally there. For the first time since arriving in Italy, there was sun outside. After breakfast, we got on the bus to head to the other side of town. It was Thursday, November 1st, All Saints Day.

Roaming Rome
This morning we got up nice and early and went for a run around Rome while the rest of the city slept or were preparing for their Easter Sunday mass.
