Yes, it is a sad day :( We have this last day of our time on our beautiful ship the Pacific Princess! But we cannot remain sad too long, we are together in a beautiful city on the east coast of Italy, Ravenna. In the morning, after breakfast and some laundry, we catch a bus provided by Princess into Ravenna. There are a few historic churches we want to see. First was the Church of San Vitale completed in 547 and is well known for its fine 6th century Byzantine mosaics.
Then we walked across town to the Sant'Apollinare Nuovo and that is where we bumped into Travis, Carleigh and Brittany. This church was built around 500 and the mosaics along the sides show a double procession toward the altar. The three Magi lead a long file of virgins on the left side, balanced by a similar line of martyrs on the right side.
