The class made it!

It was a long flight of 3 hours to New York, 8 1/2 hours to Rome. I don’t think many of us slept on the plane, but we got caught up on movie watching!

Once we arrived and checked into the hotel, we had our first authentic Italian lunch. Next, we went to the Vatican — which is 100 feet from here. Yes, we walk DAILY to the Vatican.

This is the coolest class experience to have and to offer! We learned about the old and new buildings in Rome (old is over 1000 years and new is under 500 years). Since the Vatican was Renaissance it is considered new!

We did the dome tour to the very top of the Vatican. The students and I kept up quite the march. I don’t think that I have seen so many varieties of steps — at least 6 or more — and various stairways for quite some time.

We climbed THROUGH the double dome structure that makes the piece and saw the city from the top — a view worth noting and sharing. It was excellent!

Class today covered introductory terms and some information on Primal/Tribal traditions.

This afternoon we are going to the Roman ruins. I need to buy flowers for Caesar. Love that man.
