We arrived in Rome late Wednesday afternoon to meet our adopted son Father Timothy, who is completing his Masters degree at the Vatican campus.
The picture of St. Peter's in the distance is taken from a rooftop observation deck at his seminary.
The darker photos of us were taken by moonlight as we walked through the St. Peter's square to a quaint little restaurant.
At about 2am, a thunderstorm rolled through with such intensity that I just watched from the window for over an hour...which is when I discovered that St. Peter's is visible from our room.
We are staying in a monastery hotel which offers simple but clean and quiet accommodations. Most of the guests are clergy and there are services in the chapel on our floor. I chose this Residenza Madri Pie for its proximity to the Vatican and its mission to care for Peruvian orphans.
