TRIP TO ROME
Rome is a city with a great deal of history.
Despite its beauty, it’s full of mystery.
The colosseum, a tourist site had its gory days.
Vatican City is a unique mini-state.
In 2009 Rome was part of our travels.
Toured the Vatican Museum and sat in the Sistine Chapel.
Walked through the Gallery of Tapestries.
Feasted our eyes on Michelangelo’s masterpieces.
The Belvedere Courtyard and other fabulous rooms
Were filled with paintings and art. I almost swooned
When we visited St. Peter’s Basilica we saw the catacombs.
Stood in awe when we saw St. Peter’s tomb.
Another interesting place was the Trevi Fountain.
The Spanish Steps and our trip to another fountain.
Occupied our days until it was time to move on.
Leaving behind the city of legendary palaces and museums.
