The story

Setting off as three from Naples, we reach Rome in no time without hitting any traffic. Unbelievable but true! One of my friends had lived in Rome for a few years, so we had an advantage from that. He acted as our perfect... Cicero!!! A stop we really wanted was the visit to the tomb of Pope John Paul II; we couldn't stay long in prayer there in front of it, but it was wonderful all the same. It may be the smallest state in the world, but it is certainly the greatest in spirituality!
