Day 5 - From the monuments of the ancient empire, the Eternal City is an unrivaled open-air museum.The tiny enclave of Vatican City is home to sacred sites and priceless art. It was raining the morning of our tour to Rome. We met up with our tour group at the port of Civitavecchia, and was driven to the Vatican in an hour and a half time. At the Vatican, we admired the Renaissance spendors of St Peter's Basilica. As we walked along the streets we saw the famous Swiss Guards protecting the Vatican. From there we proceeded to see the incredible Colosseum and strolled the remains of the Forum. To top off our tour, we visited the Trevi Fountain, a Baroque landmark.... read more

Day 3 - France’s second biggest city in the south, couldn’t be more different than the biggest one, Paris. Marseille is a melting pot culture and a vibrant arts scene.

It’s the city of Bouillabaisse, a favorite seafood stew. “The Chateau D If” prison castle was the setting for the movie The Count Of Monte Cristo.

10/7/18 - Final day in Barcelona, unfortunately the rain prevented us from going back to La Segrada Familia were we attempting to stand in line to be among the first 500 lucky people to get inside and hear Sunday Mass at 11 am.
