Follow along all week on social media (Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram) with more updates. Today's story is brought to you by Advocate BroMenn Medical Center.

The tour started during the team's 40-minute drive from the airport to the hotel and those on the trip were able to see the Rome border walls, which date back to 200 AD. After dropping off the team's bags at the hotel – which is in the oldest portion of Rome – the team took off on a two-hour walking tour of some of the cities' top monuments.
