Happy Friday!! What a exciting week this has been with our armchair traveling to Rome and watching the election of the new Pope unfold at the Vatican. I have to say, I was very touched by Pope Francis’ humility when greeting the people in St. Peter’s Square on Wednesday night.

I want to wrap up our virtual visit to Rome with three wonderful videos from some outstanding tour companies in Rome, and several other links for information about Rome:
Context Rome – Context offers small group and private walking tours all over Rome (as well as numerous other cities around the world). I have taken their Vatican tour and it was excellent – the guide was a PhD candidate and was incredibly knowledgeable and informative. I would highly recommend any of their tours in any location.
Eating Italy – What could be better than a small group food tour of one of the greatest food cities in the world? One of their tours is very high on my bucket list!
Walks of Italy – All of their walks sound fascinating and unique…I hope to take one when I am in Venice in September.
Rome Cabs – Excellent car service for airport transfers
Rome Digest – A newly launched online consortium of food and wine experts, all ex-pats living in Rome. Look for big things from these ladies!
Sono un bel fine settimana (Have a beautiful weekend!)
Wow, that must be a memorable and touching experience to be at the Vatican when the Pope was introduced to the World. It was very impressive that the new Pope prayed together with the people present there. These are wonderful tours of Rome and Italy.
BONJOUR SANDY! How lovely of a tour was all of this! I hope you will join me in my annual Paris Link Party in May/June…you will be perfect!
Thank you for visiting yesterday and again, your tours are just exciting. Have a peaceful weekend! Anita
I loved this week of posts, Rome is a wonderful place to visit and I love finding new places to add to my lists.
The Vatican and the Vatican museum are my favrorite places to visit, they are magical.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Elizabeth
This post is really making me want to go and I agree the entire week with all the excitement over at the Vatican was incredibly uplifting and beautiful…what a wonderful choice in choosing Pope Francis, the minute he emerged I felt so good about it, he seems so peaceful, kind and humble.
