Twenty-five high school students and parents are gearing up for Christiana’s second trip to Rome, Italy! This exciting adventure begins after the CHA school day on Wednesday, March 20th. Mr. Jenkins and the Love family are the veteran travelers who will be leading the happy homeschoolers through the boarding gates at Dulles International Airport. After a brief layover in Portugal, the passengers, along with twenty other hybrid homeschoolers from Claritas Classical Academy in PA, will finally arrive in the Leonardo da Vinci International Airport in Rome, Italy!
On Friday, March 22nd the group will experience a delightful tour of the Vatican City, which will include the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica.
On Saturday, March 23rd they’ll experience Farmer’s Market shopping in the Campo de Fiori, plus a hands-on full-course cooking class with homemade lunch, and then a transfer to Gladiator School where they will learn the ins and outs of gladiator training.
On Sunday, March 24th our travelers will have their choice of churches for a Palm Sunday service, followed by a tour of the Catacombs de Domitilla, the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, and San Giovanni in Laterano.
On Monday, March 25th the super sightseers will experience the classic city of Rome, including the Piazza Navona, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Pantheon, and many more famous Roman sites and monuments. That evening will conclude with a guided tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum.
The tourists will wrap up their trip with a free day in Rome on Tuesday, March 26th. Grateful for the recommendations made by the well-traveled Love family, everyone will depart with bellies full of gelato and macchiato on Wednesday, March 27th.
We can’t wait to share the pictures with you in the slideshow at the CHA end-of-year program! Keep the group in your prayers for safe travels and an amazing experience!
