Here is Bobbe's third post from Rome:
As much as I enjoyed learning about ancient Rome and visiting Vatican City, I think my favorite part of Rome was just getting the chance to sit down and enjoy the city. Rome is full of squares called "piazzas." My favorite one was the Piazza Navona, where I spent a long time hanging out and watching all the Romans go by. The Piazza Navona is famous because it contains three really big fountains. Isn't it cool that one piazza would have three fountains?

Bobbe's trip to Rome, part 2: the Vatican
Bobbe continues telling Benny about her trip to Rome:
After I finished exploring the ruins of ancient Rome, I decided it was time to learn about the important religious sites in Rome. Rome has long been the center of the Catholic Church, which is the largest branch of Christianity. The "Bishop of Rome" is known as the Pope, and the Pope is the leader of the Catholic Church. Ever since St. Peter became the first Pope almost 2,000 years ago, Rome has been at the forefront of Catholic life.
