St. Mary Major

Sunday... a day of rest. After getting up for breakfast, we took the Metro to St. Mary Majors for Mass. We went at noon so we could check out the church afterwards. It is very beautiful (lots of Gold)! We spent some time at St. Peters square where a bird pooped on Coreys school notes and the computer bag. I got some postcards written for our grandparents and parents.... but I will have to wait until tomorrow to send them. Many things are closed here on Sunday (which is good that they observe the Sabath... but gets annoying as an American who is used to everything being open.) We did get some Gelati for lunch (more concerned about the school work than eating right now.) I am starting to realize how many things at home I take for granted.... AC, internet, car, cell phone, food, things being open, 24 hour service. These blog entries may start to slow down now that Corey is done with school for a few weeks (this last week has been more than a pain in the neck... but at least he has been able to get the next two weeks off.)
