When in Rome

So how bout USA qualifying for the world cup!? #AllAmericanOutlaws

On another note, I was lucky enough to visit the city of Rome over the weekend and I was taken back by the sheer stature of the place. It had the hussle and bussle of New York with  history that was bar none. After another traditional Italian meal, our group split up so for the majority of the day there were four of us, Tyler, Johanna, Chandler, and myself. We saw the grand sites, the ones you read about in the history books or see pictures of on TV. We saw amazing works by Mucheal Angelo and imagined the brutal fights of the gladiators while in the Colusseum. Yet, nothing was as breathtaking as the Vatican. From the miniscule detail lining every wall of the interior, to the grand size of the building, to the twisting staircase that opened up to the most spectacular views of Rome, the Vatican stole my heart.

I had the joy of running into Mary Johnson while in Rome as well. Although a short visit, it's always pleasant to meet up with good friends.

Thank you to all of the friends and family who help to make this possible.

With love,

Rhett
