After the south, our trip worked its way north to Rome, where my Mom and I spent a few days at the end of March 2022. We walked around the Colosseum, wandered through the Roman Forum, stood under the dome of the Pantheon, looked into the Sancta Sanctorum, the chapel at the top of the Holy Stairs, and crossed the river into Vatican City.
