  Day 1 - Arrival in Rome We started out for about a week in Rome, with a number of guided tours in the city. |
 Day 2 - Morning walk, the Vatican, evening in Rome We started day 2 with a short walk in the neighborhood, then spent most of rest of the day at the Vatican, exploring the Vatican Museum, St. Peter's Square, and St. Peter's Basilica. In the evening, we had a group dinner and a drive around the city. |
 Day 3 - Trastavere, Catacombs On day three, we visited the Trastavere area of Rome, including the Villa Farnesina, and the Basilica de Santa Maria. After that, we visited the catacombs of St. sebastian, and a Basilica built over them. |
 Day 4 - Tours of Rome On the fourth day, Ed joined a group in a walking tour and Andrea and Beth hired a driver to take them to the hot spots. This group of pictures combines both of these tours because we visited a lot of the same places on that day. |
 Day 5 - Tour of Ancient Rome Day 5 included ancient Roman sites, including the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. |
 Day 6 - Rome to Sorrento This day was spent on the bus traveling from Rome to Sorrento, stopping first to see the Basilica of St Paul Outside the Walls. |
 Day 7 - Walking tour of Sorrento and home hosted lunch The day after we arrived in Sorrento, we spent the morning exploring the area around our hotel and then went into the hills to have lunch with a local family. |
 Day 8 - Amalfi Coast Tour On the eighth day we took a drive around the end of the Sorrentine Peninsula and down the Amalfi Coast. It started out rainy, but cleared up. For some reason, nobody wanted to sit in the front seat of the bus, so I took it, and because our driver cleaned the windshield extra well, I got some great pictures. |
 Day 8 - Amalfi Duomo The Duomo (Cathedral of St. Andrew) is the main attraction in Amalfi. The current building was built in the13th century in romanesque and baroque style. This site includes the older Basilica del SS. Crocifisso, built in 833, and the crypt of St. Andrew the Apostle. |
 Day 9 - Stabiae ruins Day 9 started with a visit to the archaeological ruins of the ancient resort of Villa San Marco at Stabiae. The ancient historian Pliny died there during the eruption of Mt Vesuvius in 79 AD. |
