Free Day in Rome

Thursday was an unstructured day our last day in Rome.  However, there was some work to be done sorting material that had been given to pilgrims to the Canonisation.  So Sian and I went with other sisters to do that first.  We took a taxi - we've done that a bit here and I could get quite used to it. The driver took us a different and very efficient way and we got great views of St Peter's - shame we couldn't take any photos.  Anyway we arrived early so got to have a lovely coffee at a local cafe.  I met some interesting fish.

Then we had a great time working with the sisters doing what had to be done before meeting Jill for lunch.  Next up was shopping which was very interesting - Sian bought a leather handbag and small things for little people at home.  I tried to by a Roma T-shirt but they just don't do them in my size. Because we are going to help the postulator (The Church lawyer who worked to get Mary MacKillop canonised) tomorrow this was farewell to Rome.  A little sad but excited about coming home.

This was the theory anyway, however after dinner Sian decided to go see the lights so headed back with a friend to see the Trivi fountain and walk the streets to soak up the atmosphere.  Wonderful.

So tomorrow: pack, help Maria and head for home.  See you soon
