We landed on time at Da Vinci Airport. Customs was not bad. The van was there to meet us. It was raining a bit, and we had to get the luggage quite a ways over to the van. The hotel had our rooms ready, which was a nice surprise. We all slept for a bit. We talked about powering through, but that was short lived. I finally rallied the troops. We went for a walk towards Castel St. Angelo. Along the way we stopped along the way at a newsstand for cappuccinos. The boys got them too. They seemed to like them. Right there, will sipping away, there was a man in chair reading A Christmas Carol, out loud...in English. He then launched into T'was the night before Christmas. It was a great way to start our family adventure.
We saw that Castel St. Angelo was open for tours, so we decided to go in. We had seen in Angels & Demons a few days before, so we were extra excited to see it in person. The Courtyard of Angels, the statute of Archangel Michael, and the turret, were just amazing. The artwork in there was amazing as well. Some of it was like a smaller version of the Vatican or St. Peter's. It was just getting towards dusk. We got some great photos of sunset over some landmarks. The full moon had risen as well. Taking photos with the backdrop of the Colosseum & Vatican was truly a boon.
