We arrived in Rome very excited to see the city. However my backpack took an unexpected trip to Copenhagen. Therefore we sat in the airport for 4 hours waiting for it to finally arrive. Not quite the welcome we had envisioned.

We then trained and bussed our way to our home in Rome. Our host is amazing. We are situated right across from the entrance to the Vatican. The attention to detail and craftsmanship of the wood is amazing. Currently I am listening to singing from the service that is about to begin with Pope Francis I.
