Retrospective pilgrimmage blogging

Back in April my wife, Connie, went to Rome for 3 weeks for Easter and the canonization of two popes.

Four months later, she’s “live” blogging each day of her trip. For her, it was a pretty amazing trip. She got to experience a lot of Rome, and visit a lot of places with historic and Catholic significance. There are also lots of neat pictures too.

She’s half-way through her trip now. Head on over and follow her along on her journey.
