Europe 2018 - Rome Day 4-5 Gallery contains pictures from our third full day as well as the departure day from Rome. The morning breakfast, as it had been each day, was out on the small balcony overlooking the small plaza below. highlights from this gallery include a trip to the Catacombes of San Sabatiano, a trip to Mamertine prisona walk through what is now the Piazza Navona, and a visit to the Colosseum. While I found the historical aspect of Rome interesting, I found myself constantly thinking of those who suffered under the brutality of absolute power in the hands of anyone but Jesus.
