A FIVE EURO APOLOGY
Your careful reading of the brochure will alert you to the fact that admissions to museums, churches, sites and other venues are all covered by your tour package price. This indeed is true.
Last week, the directors (Wendy, Michael and Fr. Joncas) met to put finishing touches on our plans. In the course of our discussions, we felt it was important to sneak a visit into San Clemente. (The Roman church, not the California prison....) San Clemente is a remarkable example of how churches were built on top of older churches. It's also home to one of the most famous and magnificent apse mosaics in Christendom.
We felt it was too splendid to miss and with a little free time on Sunday afternoon, we wanted to work it in
We're going to pay a visit. And we're hoping you'll trust us enough to save 5 euro to see the excavations there. (Most churches are free to enter, but have a fee to see special sites.) Please budget a mere 5 euro for that afternoon. We promise a money back guarantee if you are not satisfied. Thanks for indulging us and letting us show you one of our favorite places in Rome.
The visit here also allows the chance to pose a travel question: some people like to do their homework on a place before seeing it; others like the surprise that comes with encountering something for the first time. Which do you prefer? You can easily do some advance research on San Clemente and the other sites we are seeing, or you can let our expert local guides introduce you to the sites.
Thanks again for saving a few euros for this site and see you tomorrow......
