Rome... in pictures

Thanksgiving Break 2010

we had a long weekend, so we decided to take an outreach and visit the Calvary Chapel in Rome....

our outreach team at the Vajta train station

Italian food for thanksgiving dinner

at the Calvary Chapel in Rome... we cleaned, fixed some things and spent time with the believers there - it was a great time of mutual encouragement...

visting the church plant in Frescati (in the hills outside Rome)

we did the Set Me Free drama (from the Split outreach) and shared in the service

 Rachel with Lidia ~ who was very excited when she heard my name

(the pictures from Frescati are from Thereasa Bocca at the Frescati Church)

we played some soccer in the pastor's neighborhood

Sarah's 21st birthday

Rachel praying with a friend she made at the metro station

~a visit to the Vatican~

a treasure-trove of architecture and antiquities

this is a way cool floor... my brother actually brought up mathematical properties of the design when I was telling him about the visit

 should I look up or down?

 sorry about it being sideways

 this one too...

...somewhere in the Vatican Jason, my museum buddy, and I took a break to look at this huge painting of Constantine's conversion - can you find us?

St. Peter's Square - that's the basilica behind us

The forum

The Roman Empire at it's largest

 The colosseum!

Jemma's excited to see the colosseum.... 

and we even traveled back in time to take a picture with a real gladiator! (just kidding)

and we finished it off with gelato at Trevi Fountain...

 

 The end... and back to finals!!
