A Goodnight from Vatican City After weeks of wind A Goodnight from Vatican City

After weeks of winding roads, ancient cities, seaside villages, vineyards, and unforgettable moments, we have arrived at the final stop of our grand tour of Italy: Rome.

From my window, I have a beautiful up-close view of Vatican City and St. Peter’s Basilica, the heart of the Holy See. It feels like the perfect place to pause, reflect, and give thanks before our journey carries us back home.

Travel has a way of reminding us how vast the world is, yet how connected we all are through history, faith, family, and love. Soon, I will light a candle inside St. Peter’s Basilica in memory of those I have loved and lost. Though they are no longer walking beside me, they have been part of every step of this journey.

As this Italian adventure draws to a close, my heart is full…of gratitude, memories, and the quiet reminder that every ending is also the beginning of a new chapter.

Rome, you are a fitting finale.

As the sun slips behind the vines, the world seems to slow down. The conversations soften, the air cools, and for a moment, nothing is urgent.

Just the glow of the vineyard.
Just the beauty of being here.
