I realized after returning to NJ for the wedding of Sean's cousin Alexandria that I had neglected blogging about all of the places we have gone since Christmas.
We have discovered that the best time to travel in Europe to the most popular destinations is the week before Christmas. Rome was pretty empty of tourists until the 26th, when people seemed to come from out of nowhere to start seeing the sights. This time around we used a professional tour company, walksofitaly.com to see the Borghese Gallery: Bernini, Caravaggio & Raphael, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica, and Pompeii.
