There is so much to say about Rome. So much. For me and Michelle, one the most important parts of visiting Rome is getting to see our friend Martin who is studying there. He has been so good to us! He's like part parent (He insists on paying for us and calls to check up on us when we're in town.) and part tour guide (He always knows more than we do about whatever church we step inside.). Because of Martin, we've had a pretty unique experience there.
Here are just a few pictures with captions to keep you up-to-date on what we've seen:

| At PNAC on a library tour--largest collection of books in English in Rome |
  |
| St. Mary Major |
 |
| Pieces of Jesus's manger are inside the gold casing. |
 |
| This is just a candlestick holder. |
 |
| FRIENDS ARE FUN |
 |
| St. Peter's Square |
 |
| Typical Italian breakfast |
 |
| St. John Lateran, the cathedral of Rome |
 |
| The Laterans were an Italian family whose land was used to build the cathedral. I'm assuming this is their crest, but don't quote me. |
 |
| I think this was a portable Peruvian shrine to Mary. |
 |
| Santa Scala: The Holy Stairs that Jesus ascended and descended before Pontius Pilate during His Passion in Jerusalem. |
 |
| St. Paul Outside the Wall |
 |
| Doors depicting the life of St. Paul |
 |
| Martin and Michelle know a Wheeling man who is friends with the owner of this Steelers bar in Rome. Small world! |
