into the catacombs. then out
on the Appian way by the
tomb of Cecilia Mathilla – Saw
the ruins of the old Roman
Aqueduct. Passed the church of
St. john Later??? just inside
the City gate as we returned
and went in to see the “Scala
Santa” or sacred steps up which
Christ was supposed to walk to the
Judgment hall of Pilate.
It was filled with worshipers
each one on their knees saying
a prayer on each step and going
up on the next step on their
knees.  The hour of ??? was
sounded by the ringing of the chimes.
We returned to the hotel had
our lunch and then left there
and came to the “Hotel Pen???
Alexandra” where we will have a
??? room and a bath.
