Sophia and I were meeting Msgr. Mangan at 9am, so we got up around 7:30 and got ready. We caught the train to the Vatican at about 8:30 and we made it to the rendezvous point in St. Peter's Square at about 8:50. The rendezvous point was right in front of the be obelisk in the middle of St. Peter's Square. While we waited for him, I took some more pictures of the square.
Msgr. came by a little after 9 am we were able to give him Sophia's mother's musical items. He was also sweet enough to give us a small present and a blessing for our marriage. After talking with Msgr. briefly and taking some pictures with him, we said our goodbyes and set off to our next task: souvenir shopping.
Before getting into the heavy shopping, we decided to grab breakfast at a nearby cafe. We ordered omlettes and cappucini and I also got some OJ. Unfortunately, we should've known better because the cafe didn't list prices in their menu and our bill ended up being about 52 euros. To get our money's worth, Sophia addressed and wrote some postcards while I walked around the nearby area and snapped some photos.
After breakfast, we shopped for all the people on our souvenir list by visiting the souvenir shops along the main road leading to St. Peter's Square. We finished off the list and decided to come back to the hotel room to plan for our next move. We were so tired when we came back to the hotel room that we decided to just relax and get some pizza for dinner for our last night in Rome. We also did as much pre-packing as we could and cleaned up the room. It felt so strange that our time in Rome had come to an end, but it was time to come back home and continue with life.
