I’ve been lucky enough to have visited the Vatican about three times in my life. I have not visited many catacombs because people tell me they are claustrophobic. I did visit Nero’s excavated palace near the Forum. Unbelievably, it had graffiti from the painter Raphael who had managed to get himself into it!

What a city, what a history.

When my husband and I lived in the middle east for five years our FAVORITE go-to places were Rome, Athens and London. Every place else took YEARS of flying to get to.

ROME...the eternal city. That HAS to be my favorite.
