ROMA
The main reason we took this weekend trip was to visit the Necroplis, the tombs underneath Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome. They only allow 50 people to go under a day, in groups of 12-15 people and you need to make an appointment a least a month in advance, so naturally we were really excited.
It was very impressive and apparently I saw the bones of Saint Peter.
This was my fourth visit to Rome, but the first time that I actually stepped foot into Saint Peter's Basilica and saw Michealangelo's Pietà and Bernini's Baldacchino.
After our afternoon at the Vatican, we headed on over to the Trevi Fountain and dipped inside a Chinese restaurant to get out of the pouring rain. We had a very friendly, unexpected, incredible surprise. The only other customers in the restaurant, another American family, bought our dinner for us without saying a word. Pay it forward.
We ended our stay in Rome by getting mojitos and hanging out in Campo di Fiori which is apparently the student hot spot on a Saturday night.
