After the Vatican visit returned to the area around Rome Termini Station only to rediscover the Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica. It is the most important sanctuary to the Blessed Mother in the Western World. The Basilica was built after the Blessed Mother appeared in a dream to the then Pope requesting its construction. Let’s take a peek..

From here to the Coliseum where 80,000 patrons could be seated for gladiator events. The area continues to be under construction and renovation, however, in the evening it sparkles.

Then walking back to the hotel came across this restaurant. Perhaps gov ron should return to his roots and apply.

Always thinking of the right move for you ronnie baby!

Then return to the hotel after a long, mistaken google maps walking adventure..
