Montecassino, Italy January 4th

So I'm a little behind at this point, a week to be exact. The visit to Montecassino and the monastery that Saint Benedict founded was great. We were able to visit the Saints burial place however it was off limits at the time so I was not able to even touch the St Benedict medal a new friend gave me to the tomb of Saint Benedict. It is a wonderful place to visit and the reconstruction after the Allies bombed it in WW2 is not really even visible. After that we went back to Rome and the group was able to visit St Paul Basilica outside the Walls. I was happy to do that. St Paul is my Baptismal patron and part of my Baptismal name :D.
