To the Holy Land from Rome...


Some have asked me how I got to la Terra Sancta from Rome. The answer is easy: it was all Opera Romana Pellegrinaggi (http://www.orpnet.org/)!

All that I did was enter their ufficio di San Pietro on the Piazza Pio XII, fill out the modulo d’iscrizione and pay them in euros for the pilgrimage of a lifetime!

Of course being the only American in the group of some twenty elderly Italians, I was the darling! Americans call my bravado immature, but they called it “American!” Needless to say, it was a blast!
