We started our last day in Europe with the Vatican, where we saw the exquisite Sistine Chapel and many breath taking frescos, some of which were incredibly 3-D like. After a delicious Italian lunch we walked quickly to see the last few sites in Rome including the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain. we had a tiring but wonderful day in Rome, and as the sun set we headed to Feumigino Airport, ready to begin the long journey home. We were packed, ready to fly, when our flight was canceled because a British Air baggage handler back in London had a fatal accident. British Air rescheduled our flight for an early Tuesday morning which meant we missed our connection from London to LAX. We will have an extra day in London to visit places we missed on the first stop, a blessing in disguise. While we are sad to leave Rome, we are excited to be on our way! We expect to be home on Wednesday night. Our journey through Europe has been both exciting and inspiring. It's been an extraordinary trip with extraordinary seniors!
