Frankfurt -> Roma: Jennifer, Vatican, Trastevere

What an eventful day!

* 7:30am - 9:30am => Frankfurt to Rome flight
* 12:30pm => arrived at the Domus Aurelia, where I will be staying for the next 4 nights
* 2pm => lunch
* 4pm => visit St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican
* 7:30pm => participated in the Procession of Saint Anne throug the Vatican Gardens (a waiter at a cofffee shop suggested we go to it); Pope Benedict was there also and gave a 10 minute homily (unfortunately in Italian)
* 10pm => dinner at Sabatini's (a forgetable restaurant in the unforgettable and lovely district of Trastevere

I'm tired. Too much activity for one day.
