Roma- day 3

Villa Borghese

 Saturday was a beautiful sunny day, and we took advantage of that by going to Villa Borghese after some espresso. Just the four of us now, which was really fun. Thomas speaks great English which combined with our French made communication very easy. And we all got along so well. Villa Borghese is huge and filled with huge trees that the boys enjoyed climbing, museums that were sold out until Sunday, and lots of entertaining Italians enjoying the sun as well. We sat in the park and listened to the birds and soaked in the sun. Ah! And at one point we came across the Irish national rugby team- that was playing Italy in the Six Nations tournament that day. Sarah is a huge fan and couldn't believe her eyes.

BENVENUTO FRANCESCO!

After the park, we walked to find lunch and eventually more churches. Gesù was great- one of our favorites. The art spanning across the roof was absolutely stunning.

Chiesa Gesù

We spent the entire day crossing and recrossing all of Rome. We found ourselves at the Trevi fountain again and the Pantheon and on the river. At the end of the day, we headed over to San Lorenzo for dinner and met up with an Italian friend of Thomas' who took us out all night. A sort of final hurrah before saying goodbye and continuing just the three of us.
