My flights were very smooth flying into Munich and connecting on to Rome. My first “leg” of this 35 day European adventure is in Italy with a group of 400 people from California. As crazy as it gets, I am also thankful to be able to escape away sometime to enjoy Holy Week in Rome. Upon arrival in Rome, last minute touches needed to be put in place and do some finalizing, and with arriving in the afternoon, I did not head into the city centre at all.
