and on to the Roman Forum.

Next will be a jaunt to the Capitoline
(the smallest of the the Seven Hills),
the plans for which were drawn up by Michaelangelo himself.



After lunch the choir will then head to Vatican City
where they will go on a guided tour that will include
the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica.
After which they will participate in the 5 pm Mass
at this most famous cathedral.



Wouldn't it be grand if Papa Ben showed up?!

They've Made it to Rome!

I just received word that the choir has landed safely in Rome and that everyone is doing great. Today's agenda includes touring the ancient city center of Rome with their 1st stop being the Piazza Navona. They will also visit the Pantheon with its rich history dating back to 27 BC. Their 1st "gig" will be tomorrow, during Mass, at St. Peter's Basilica.
