Rome, Italy

Tuesday, February 22
Buongiorno on our second day in Rome!

Old views of Roma are sold on the street

On our way to Vatican City....
St. Peter's Basilica (Basilica Sancti Petri)



We were heading for the backdoor - upstairs to the dome!


I love this picture of the veiled statue - St. Maron
which the Pope unveiled the next day.


We're going up!




It's pretty monumental...


This is inside the dome - it's really BIG

Mosaics... of faces...

... and toes



Yes. We're actually walking up THERE.

This was the very narrow and crooked corridor between the inside and outside dome -
this is how you get up the St. Peter's Basilicas cupola
