The Rome Temple

We did the walk off disembarkation and caught our shuttle bus into the city arriving at the hotel all before 9:00 am. We left the luggage, bought our metro card and went immediately to the Rome Temple. It is beautiful. There is a visitor's center, Temple housing and a stake center all located on the Temple compound.

 This is a cut-away that is in the visitor's center so you can see what the interior looks like.  We didn't get a chance to do a session on this trip.

It sits in a rather industrial section on the outskirts of the main city. Probably because land is so prime and this complex needed lots of it.

Some of the group didn't think we could do the Temple and the colloseum all in one day, but we did including walking through the Roman Forum. Traveled 23,000 steps today.

 This is the entrance to St. Peter's Square and Vatican City.

I love Italian food, but on this trip, it seems we picked some of the worst restaurants.  We couldn't convince the group that just a little out of the way place is much better than trying to find a "nice" restaurant.  However, the gelato was perfect!

This was General Conference weekend and so our nights were spent listening to conference sessions.  Technology is wonderful.

We have been to Rome several times and so this is just a collection of pictures for us to remember this trip and previous trips.
