Rome Day 1-part 2

Once again a beautiful ceiling

Me in St. Peter's Bascilica. If you want me to describe St. Peters go to the thesaurus and look up all the synonyms for big. This place is massive, and everything is beautiful, no blank walls or ceilings here.

The front of St. Peters. The altar is supposedly built on the grave of the Apostle Peter.

We were in St. Peters about 6pm so the sun was shining through the windows in the dome. 

Taken from the back of the church

The Pieta

Mom deciding what to have for dinner. I decided on ricotta and spinach ravioli

A monument to the first king of Italy. It was finished in 1930.

The Trevi Fountain

Rome Day 1-part 1

On the train to Rome

The traffic here is horrible. Nobody follows the lanes and the people on mopeds weave in and out of lanes going really fast. Makes me nervous

Vatican Gardens

Our tour guide at the Vatican, a knowledgeable Irishman.

Romans seem to like statues, they are on a lot of the buildings

Pillars of the Vatican

The statue hall of the Vatican

One of the many, many gorgeous ceilings in the Vatican. 

Don't know why these pictures are smaller than the others....

More after dinner!
