Roma

The flight to Rome was pretty uneventful, as I slept through most of it. Upon our arrival, we exchanged money and then boarded a bus to the Pontifico Collegio Filippino. Its primary purpose is to house priests and nuns from the Philippines, so it's pretty sparse.

After getting our rooms and ditching our bags, we went on a quick tour of Rome that included the Circus Maximus, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, and Piazza Navonna. Of course, the first thing I ate was gelato!

My first Communist rally!

My first real meal here -- Gnocchi (yum!)
