We arrived in Rome on Saturday morning, found our B&B, then toured the Vatican Museum, Sistine 
Chapel and The Basilica of Saint Peter. We did wait in line about 2 hours for the Museum but were entertained by other people also waiting. We found an American tour guide immediately in front of us in line who was providing a private tour for friends and gave us a lot of useful information. Sunday we toured the Colosseum, Arch of Constantine, Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, Pantheon, Trajan's column and a group of churches with phenomenal marble sculpture, paintings and tapestry. In the evening, we went to the Spanish Steps and Piazza Navona.

We have had limited time to stop at internet spots since we have been busy seeing everything we planned to see. We went to most of the big attractions in Rome and then took a bus to the Calisto Catacombs had a guided tour which was very interesting. Most of the bones have been moved but a lot of history remains. Approximately 500,000 people were buried there.We are going back to Rome to tour the remaining sites that we have chosen to see in this whirlwind trip. Rome has so much to see, it is hard to choose.
