Rome is packed with historical sites,
though in many cases of a far different nature. As part of the tour,
campers viewed the opulent halls of Saint Peter's Basilica (pictured
here). (1995) |

Another view of Saint Peter's Basilica,
facing the Jubilee Door from the vantage point of one of the domes. (1998) |
 |
There's a lot to see underground, as well.
This corridor under the San Clemente church leads to an ancient pagan
temple of Mithra. (1997) |
 |
The tour group explored the Colosseum and
the Roman Forum. The Colosseum was the site of gladiatorial games and
Christian martyrdom in the early centuries. (1997) |
 |
Smile! Not having one of those high-tech
gizmo cameras, Ben Watts devises a method to photograph himself with the
group. (1998) |
 |
What a contrast to see firsthand the
simplicity of the Waldensian churches (and even their museums), compared
to the lavish splendor of the churches of Rome. Pictured here is a shrine
containing various relics. (1997) |
 |
By air, by land, or by sea, campers were
able to visit many locations. This is an excursion the campers took at
Capri. (1997) |
