And my most favorite part of the Vatican Museum:
The exit!!!
Next, we headed to St. Peter's Basilica. Here's a few pictures:
The rest of the day is pretty much a blur for me. I was ready to be back in Naples before we ever left the Vatican. We had several metro trips around the city, LOTS of walking, and some pizza (if you can call it that). The rest of the afternoon, I was thanking God for calling me to Naples.
Around 7:30pm, we finally started heading back home. I was entirely ready to be in my bed sleeping. However, about 30 kilometers from our city, our rental car broke down. My thoughts: Are you kidding me??? After several calls to the car rental service center and the rental car office, we were told that a tow truck was on the way to pick us up. We were all very excited about the adventure ahead:
Well...most of us were. I was not amused in the least. But, I will say that the tow ride was the highlight of the day. When the tow truck arrived (around 10:30pm), the car was loaded onto the tow truck (with us inside) and the driver drove us to his shop, which happened to be back in the opposite direction from Naples. When we finally got to the shop, there was some major confusion between us, the tow service, and the car rental people as to what we were supposed to do to get home.
We called our supervisor (even though at this point it was midnight) to let him know what was going on and to see if he knew of any other options than taking a taxi. Even though it was past midnight, and he had already gone to bed, Charlie got dressed and drove all the way out of the city to pick us up and get us home. What an incredible blessing to work for and with a man like that. We are truly blessed!
Please pray for God's blessing to rest on Charlie and his entire family because they are incredible, each and every one!!!
