African King and Queen

We have seen images of the Trevi fountain and read about it. As well as the Spanish steps. It was exciting to be seeing it, we kept on saying to one another. We must apologize for not stressing the significance of Jordan assisting us to venture these sights, him and his family were and continue to be the pivot of such a successful trip, and we cannot thank them enough-Thank you, ye daase.

We boarded the train to Termini station and headed to the Colosseo; it had gotten darker as the night neared, but weather was still cozy, Roma seemed busy and filled with curious tourists, commuters and natives. We stopped by a nearby stand for cappuccino and across the street stood the blueprint of stadiums worldwide- the Colosseum.

It's almost a sin if you live this lifetime without visiting Roma, Italy; maybe less of a sin, to soothe a positive vibe. Go to Rome......its the capital of Italy, with approximately less than 3 million, that sounds like lots of wine, and good food, and culture in one city. Roma is cited as the oldest cities in Europe. Visit Roma and you will learn so much about art, history, religion, culture, you will eat so well, and meet a vibrant and diverse array of people on your quest, or meet natives who know little to no English, and will force you to clinge on more to your translator apps; google has a good one by the way.

Why did we go to Roma, Italy? Ci piacciamo, la bella Italia.
Luckily we have family there, so navigating there was less cumbersome, and the amazing family support system is close to heaven.  We had breakfast, so filling, so soothing, we then settled in, talked for a while and took our first nap.


We woke up to delicious smell of lasagna. We couldn't calm our claws to eat, and to so much joy we heard, lunch was ready, hammy. Calmly, and with an open stomach and eager taste buds, we engulfed the delicious lasagna and some vino bianco (pinot grigio) , it was so good we could barely stay awake, all this mixed in the getting used to the time difference, was quite a hurdle. We took a power nap, and then headed to the Vatican City, (see pictures below), it was closed, but we enjoyed great picture taking, and the exterior genuineness in architecture and art. Its sits so confidently, and very well catered for and guarded by Swiss guards.

It's important that we do not omit the relevance of Roma as a religious significance to the Italian people, and world as a whole, and more importantly to Christianity. Even though it was closed to public during the evening hours we got there, there were other curious people from all walks of life who enjoyed the gainfully architecture.


The mood on the first day we visited Roma was elevated, it was our birthdayyyyyyyy!! We continue to give God thanks, always humbled by his mercies.
