Rome: Pagan and Pious

Those who died on September 11th, those who lost their loved ones, those heroes who worked to save others, and all Americans are in my prayers today.

Today I want to remember two fantastic days in Rome. September 10, 2008, was our class trip to the Capitoline Museums, where we saw the stone monuments of Rome's history and mythology. On September 11, we spent a warm and dusty morning harvesting grapes in the vineyards, then rode into Trastevere to visit the church of Santa Cecilia.
