We made one more quick stop, at the church of St. Mary of the Angels, which is built over the little church where St. Francis prayed. It’s rather strange to see this little building inside of the great big one!

We passed the village of Trevi just at sunset, on our way back to Rome. Like many villages in this area, it clings to the hillside.

Technically, the tour was over at this point, and we drove back to Rome. But the bus dropped people off at (or close to) their hotels, so the drop off process was really an interesting tour of Rome off the beaten path. I’m sure we saw neighborhoods we would never have gone into otherwise, as our bus driver took the shortest way between the widely spread out hotels. Since our hotel is in the central area, we were almost the last ones dropped off. We got back to our room a little after 9 PM, still time for a gelato!
