Roaming around Rome, Italy

August 17, 2015

Our Scavenger hunt continues! We are always on the lookout for a few things: Obelisks and SPQR. These are everywhere; we had fun searching for them all over the city. We find about 50 SPQRs and 10 of the 13 Obelisks.



We made it to the underground temples today. Really cool, for just a few euros you can go under the church and roam around. The kids really love finding these hidden cities.


Up next is a Roman tradition, throwing a coin in the Trevi Fountain. Unfortunately, it was under construction.  So we had to throw the coins over a plastic wall, which was not the same. Ella, of course, missed on her first try, and it ricocheted off the wall. Miles made it the first time, but wanted to throw all our money in!




The last stop of the day was to check out the Vatican City. It was late in the day, so it wasn't too crowded, but we only had a limited time before they closed.

The Basilica itself was truly amazing, weird, and awe-inspiring. Every inch of the church is covered in beauty, gold, art, people, and dead popes. We loved visiting this place! Ella even kissed St. Peter's toe.
