We head for the airport in less than an hour. Rome has been wonderful. The history is just overwhelming. We spent all day yesterday at the Vatican & the Castel St. Angelo. It was amazing. We had a private tour which was great. The guide was incredibly patient with us non art experts. He explained the importance of scores of works by Raphael, DiVinci, Michelangelo, and countless others.

We miss all the TAPers. It sounds like you guys are having a great time finishing out the cruise. Betty, I'm glad you're feeling better. Sorry we missed you that last evening before we left. Everyone have fun and have a safe journey home.

I've loaded all the photos from Rome on my site.
