A Cheap and Cheerful Adventure

One of my absolute favorite days on this trip has been pilgrimage day. This day adventure is something that anyone can do in Rome for free and results in the added bonus of being much better acquainted with the city and the saints of Catholicism. The idea was simple. We would go on our own pilgrimage finding churches and statues dedicated to the saints whose causes we identified with the most. It became our own scavenger hunt of sorts that lasted from 9 am to 6 pm that day. My Patron Saint was Saint Francis of Assisi, the animal protector saint, because I hope become a veterinarian in the future.
