Regi and I left our new friends this morning in the little town of Montemolino and made it to Roma (Rome)!! To add to the excitement we were able to get in contact with the priest that married us. After Fr. Joe married us he was transferred to Rome and became the dean at the Pontifical North American College and Seminary. Later on in the week, we will be meeting up with him. He was able to get us tickets to all of the masses of Holy Week! We will be going to the Chrism mass, the Passion of the Lord, the Way of the Cross, Easter Vigil, and Easter Mass. This has truly been a prayer answered. We were instructed by the very joyful and cheerful nuns to show up at least 2 to 3 hours early for each event and for Easter Vigil we should get in line 7 hours early!

We found an interesting bed and breakfast to stay at just 15 minutes away from St. Peter’s Basilica. A lady originally from Texas lets people stay in one of her rooms in her house. She does volunteer work in India with the Tibetan monks and lets them stay at her house once a year. They are the ones that convinced her to run a bed and breakfast. She seems very welcoming and kind to all living beings. We look forward to stay with her.

Unfortunately, I was not able to go were we wanted to go for my birthday. We really wanted to go to the island of Sardinia but it would have meant going over budget, sleeping on the deck of a ferry over night, and we were happy staying in Montemolino. It’s o.k. We are on this wonderful trip and if we ever do return we will make sure to visit the beautiful island of Sardinia. As for now, we are pilgrims in the “Capital of the World”- Caput Mundi!
