Fieldtrip to Rome

We took our seminary students to Rome last weekend for a field trip- it was so much fun! Aside from a few minor hiccups (we forgot our TomTom (which could have been a disaster but wasn't) and I got separated from the group (or they got separated from me depending on who you talk to) a handful of times) I think the day was a success!

It really was a perfect day to visit Rome, it was sunny and warm and the all the flowers were blooming- it was quite beautiful! What is more- we had Robert as a tour guide and he did a great job. He shared his vast knowledge of Roman and Biblical history and helped us see where they overlap. His understanding really helped bring the scriptures to life for me- I hope it did for our seminary students too!

Anyway, here are a few pictures from the day.

Clark, Regan and Abram looking at the chains that bound Peter before his death.

Robert as our guide- it doesn't get better (or less expensive) than this!

Regan, Abram, Camille, Clark and Spencer inside the Colosseum.

This is a picture of the Colosseum from the Forum- it is one of my favorite places to take pictures of the Colosseum.

Spring time in Ancient Rome.

Regan, Clark, Abram and Camille on Palatine Hill overlooking Rome.
