Italy is an awe-inspiring destination! At every turn, you’ll be mesmerized by the beauty and history that surrounds you. We had the pleasure of spending six nights here over Christmas, which is celebrated in a refreshing way unlike North America’s commercialized approach. In Italy, it’s all about religion and peace, and I have to admit, I prefer it this way. We attended a Christmas Eve mass at a small Catholic church that offered services in English. Later that night, we also went to Vatican Square for the Pope’s mass, which was a fun and memorable experience despite the language barrier. However, I must admit, trying to cross the street in Rome was quite an adventure, as Italian drivers are quite wild!
