We are spending our final day in Rome before boarding the ferry that will take us to Barcelona this evening.
Today, we have about four hours of free time in Rome before we meet again at the Trevi Fountain and I show the group the fourth of the major basilicas of Rome: St. Mary Major. Following Mary Major, we will view Bernini's famous statue of the ecstasy of St. Therese of Avila in a nearby church. Finally, we will go to the Capuchin bone church...those who have been to my RCIA session on the Four Last Things know what I'm referring to :) I'm sure there will be many intriguing blog entries from our Pilgrims tonight and tomorrow after today's experiences.
I'm sorry there are not more pictures on the blog; the Internet connection continues to be spotty and uploading files of that size just quit on us. I'm hoping we will have a better connection in Spain and share with you everything we've been so privileged to see, reflect on, and pray before.
Everyone is doing well, even if a little tired. Today's slower pace will help everyone soak in the city and reflect on the wonders of the past days before we bid a fond farewell to the Eternal City.

Dear Pilgrims:
What an amazing five days. I am just as sad to see you leave Rome as I am sure you are. The pictures were awesome and I have enjoyed reading all your thoughts and everyone's comments. How lucky you are to have this experience at such a young age. Many people plan this trip for years and finally go in retirement!!!! Off to Spain.
Oh Amy the weather is finally nice enough for me to kayak. went to kensington today.
