The Most Amazing Night of My Life...well maybe just one











Our final night in Rome ended with a lot of emotion as it was the last night that Beneficial Financial Group would ever be together. They gave us a private tour of the Sistine Chapel and Museum. This was my favorite day and night of the whole trip. The Sistine Chapel was amazing! I had seen so many pictures of all the art and the ceiling that Michelangelo painted was unbelievable! It is smaller then I imagined, our pictures did not turn out so well as we could not use our flash. After the tour, they took us up to a Villa that looks over all of Rome. It was a beautiful white marble home that they had turned into a hotel. Our dinner was so good, as the food in Italy is very different then "American Italian". Not like our favorite Macaroni Grill. Very healthy and plain as our pizzas were just fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, a slice of ham and some cheese. But the bruschetta was the best I'd ever had. Anyways, while we eat the 3 teners from the Rome Opra sang to us, all the classics. They were wonerful and soooo talented! After everything they had us go out on to the balcany and from below they let off fireworks. They were the best fireworks I had ever seen. (I know that doesn't sound like much coming from Magrath Days, but being almost level with the firework and so close, it really was amazing!).
