Italy

Haven't done a new post in awhile, but here's one of the major things that's new--  the possibility of going to Italy with my sister!!! :) Our church is planning a trip to Rome next summer so we would be going with the group. We are so excited to get more information about it! We went to the meeting about it yesterday.. so exciting! Some of the major cities we'll be going to are: Rome, Naples, and Salerno. And we know we'll be going to Trevi fountain, the Spanish Steps, the Colosseum, the Sistine Chapel,  St. Peter's Basilica, the Roman Senate Forum, Julius Caesar's grave, and Mt. Vesuvius. The focus of the trip is the journeys of Paul and church history, so we will also be going to some of the outlying areas where Paul would have walked and ministered and also to places like one of the prisons that Paul was in(Mamertine Prison in Rome). We've been studying Italian so we can speak/understand a little bit of the language while we're there. haha This will be a trip that we'll always remember. It's definitely going to be amazing! :) 

Dean Martin's song "On an Evening in Roma" has been our "theme" song the past few days as we think about the trip! :) haha
