Everything is BIG in Rome

Busses. Statues. Columns. Parks. Bridges. Crowds.

A few things are small. Cars. Cokes. Cups of Capuccino.

Today's highlight was listening to the choir perform in St. Peter's Basilica, in Vatican City, for a mass. They did 5 sacred pieces. The pure voices echoed off the marble and moved me to tears. The holy man leading the service thanked them by name, and they received applause at the end. It's a stunning place to visit, but those kids know they gave their gift to the space and the ceremony and the people who were there for a spiritual ceremony. It was amazing.
