Krows, 1215 East Main street, while they are touring Europe. This let ter was mailed from Rome, Italy.) We arrived here yesterday after a deluxe bus trip from Florence via Perugia and Assisi, the noted hill cities of Italy. Im possible appearing masses of buildings built practically on tops pf mountains 16 to 18 cen turies. Very much alive with business and farming activities. Former Roman strongholds and later occupied by Knights of Malta. All of northern Italy is highly cultivated and very pro ductive. Heavy fruit producers, grapes, pears, prunes, apples, berries and all kinds of grain. Rome is a beehive of humans all on their busy way by all means of transportation. We did not realize that Europeans also tour. The city seems packed with super tourist buses from as far away as Sweden. The city is congested by narrow crooked streets, some only five feet wide. Traffic moves in all directions without hesitation and all with out headlights after dark. Four hundred churches one American Protestant and one Jewish. It is utterly impossible to describe the art, statuary, paintaings, mosaics, fountains. The Roman ruins are spectacu lar but not as extensive as we anticipated, due to destruction centuries past for building mate rials for other buildings. Today we visited the Vatican museum and St. Peters cathe dral, largest in the world. We anticipated it would be dark and gloomy but due to constant alterations it seems to be bright and clean. We witnessed the ap pearance of the Pope at 12 noon in an open upper window of his living quarters. The voice over the loud speaker giving the blessing was no doubt recorded and many liberal minded Catholics think that the person appearing is a "standin." However, many thou sand devoted members accepted the appearance with all sorts of reactions, holding up handker chiefs, rosaries, etc., to receive the blessing. We are quartered in a fine ho tel, beautifully furnished. The lobbies and parlors are art gal leries in themselves. The food is not as good as Milan, Venice or Florence and prices are 100 per cent higher. With all this luxury there is no soap, one bath to a floor and all toilets are "sex less." We leave tomorrow for Na ples, Pompeii and the Sorrento followed by Pisa, Genoa and Nice, as we go north toward France. The weather is good, only rain one since arrival in Europe.
