St. Robert

Don and Barb, my sister have never been to Italy, much less Rome.  So Rome was the destination for some days.  Its been great traveling together and seeing the sites.  Just a couple of moments:  1) The tomb of St. Robert Bellarmine.  My father's name was Robert and so we went to his tomb to be close to dad for a moment.  St. Robert lived in Montepulciano (we had just been there) and Rome in the 16th and 17th centuries.  He was a Jesuit (like Pope Francis) and himself received some votes to be elected pope in those days.  Nice moment. St. Robert Bellarmine and Robert Kunz (my personal saint) watch over us in these day.
2) St. Peter's, always a site to see.
3)The Colloseum, a great Roman site
