Elena and Sam had the good fortune to join our former priest, Fr. Jeremy, on a pilgrimage to Rome over Christmas vacation this year along with a few cousins. Grandma Myhre joined at the very last minute as well when someone else had to back out. I don't have a lot of details other than knowing they had fun and they are now disappointed by the inferior quality food we have back in the states. Sam spent much of his time trying to catch a pigeon. Although, he didn't personally catch one, he (and several others) did order one off a menu when it was served at a restaurant. They were not impressed.
They were able to meet up with our Charlotte, our exchange student from years ago. She also happened to be in Italy at the same time! And as you can see from the video, they were able to see the Pope up close as well.
