Rome — Day 3
Churches, churches, and more churches!
After our 6:30 morning “wake up call from Rome” the students and chaperones loaded the bus for their rehearsal. They met with the other four choirs that will be singing with them at the festival and after 4 hours of singing, they were off on another site seeing tour. We did everything from throwing coins in the Trevi Fountain, climbing the Spanish Steps, gazing awestruck at the Pantheon, bartering with street souvenir vendors, and visiting church after church after amazing church. Dinner was wonderful. We all crammed into a small authentic Italian restaurant for a meal of stuffed eggplant, tomatoes, and zucchini for appetizers and pasta with cream sauce for our entrees and of course, a little Tiramisu for dessert. Tomorrow is the Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica, where the students will be singing, and then a tour of the Vatican and Vatican Museum. We are all tired but it’s a happy and satisfied exhaustion.
