Scavi

So it turns out that there are some ruins underneath St. Peters Basilica. It’s called Scavi or The Excavations.

According to the above link, you have to make a reservation well in advance to be guaranteed a spot. Only 200 people a day can go down into the excavations. So last Tuesday I emailed the Scavi office at the Vatican. Have not heard a peep back. I gave them the possibility of three days for a tour, since we’ll be in Rome for all of those three days.

Doing some more digging there was another email address they had listed, so I emailed it too on Friday. That one gave me an auto-response email. But still nothing, as of today. It seems that this is the “hottest ticket” in Rome. Everybody that goes down there loves it.

So make sure ya’ll pray that the three blokes that run the Scavi office will reply to one of my emails with a time we can go. I’m dying waiting for a response.

Maybe those from Utah are responded to last for some reason.
