Churches and Walking

Hello,

We stopped at the Spanish Steps, but did not sit or rest on them as they were quite wet.

Farther on, a church beckoned so we went in. It was the last church that Michelangelo worked on. It was quite the architectural masterpiece by him. As with most of the churches we have been in on this trip it was quite spacious, but almost no seats. We people from the USA are so into the idea of sitting in a church that one almost wonders if anyone even came to services. There was even a small attached museum so we could learn more than ordinarily when in a church on our own.

For the rest of the trip home, the rest of the group took the Metro while Leroy and I walked past some small shops and more churches as well as cutting through a park.

We did stop at a small Asian market. I had been hoping to see some nuts in a grocery, but this was not a good source for that. I was missing my nut snacks. Leroy and I did stop to ask some young women for directions. Would you believe we found some excellent English speakers who were native of New York? That helped all of us to laugh. We had to ask directions once more, but got back in good time for a bit of rest before we headed out for our evening meal.

I missed the common meeting areas on the ship where our group could visit freely, but our rooms worked with chairs imported from the other rooms.
