... I’ve left Paul to finish out the retreat today and tomorrow as I make my way to Rome. I’ve said my good-byes and am ready to re-enter the buzz and energy that is the Eternal City. Over the years we’ve enjoyed exploring new hotels in new parts of the city. Today, I am going to a hotel close to what I think may well be my most favorite structure in all of Rome—the Pantheon.

We were told that dinner would be served at 8 pm sharp. So each couple ...
And On The Seventh Day We Rested
... bar downstairs, so we had a late breakfast outside on their terrace. It had almost as nice a view as our room! It was partly cloudy and just warm enough today, so we walked a little here and there, looking at shops, looking at the view. We were completely aimless and I loved it.
The other thing I loved was the fact that we were able to do laundry, and I have plenty of clean clothes for the rest of the trip. And I unlocked my phone's SIM card so we can use ...
