GSE OKC was blessed with Maria, our tour guide for the Capital Museum last Saturday and the Vatican Museum /Sistine Chapel/St. Peter's Basilica. (Vatican City). She was a very special tour guide and we had such a great time with her!
The sites were amazing and we were all totally impressed. It took over 100 years to build St. Peter's Bisillica! Truly a work of art, as all of Rome is.
The team has been walking everywhere! We did try out some public transportation yesterday, including the metro (both undergrouud and street level) and the bus system. Roam is somewhat of a small city and it is very easy to get around. We get verey tired due to the busy schedule and somehow get through the day. There is to much to see and do. We agree that we will sleep more when we get back to the US. Rome is a truly acient city with layers of history. Small streets and small cars (smart cars) everywhere. There are more smart cars in Rome than in any other city. It makes sense.
The Italians keep aplogising for the "terrible weather" but we think it is beautiful. Just a little rain, which does not stop GSE OKC. In fact, we are all getting a little sun burn, but the Italians continue to wear sweaters and coats. It's interesting how we adapt to the climate of our own countries.
