After 17 days as a pilgrim thinking about Rome, today was my day to explore the city like a tourist. I got up super early to get some photos of St. Peter’s Square (before the Jubilee crowds arrived), then made my way all around Rome to visit all the places I’d read about but never seen with my own eyes.
In addition to a very full day of sightseeing, I got some fantastic gelato at Guttilla Alta Gelateria Italiana. And I capped off my evening with a celebratory dinner with Andreas and Catherine, so we could compare notes on all the places we enjoyed in Rome before saying our goodbyes.
Tomorrow, I fly to Oviedo, Spain to begin the 320-kilometer Camino Primitivo
