St. Peters Basilica its huge
St. Peters Basilica/Popes Altar
Oldest Ancient Egyptian statue in Piazza Navonna
What a day!!! The Vatican was one of the most amazing sites I have ever seen. Gerald's 2nd cousin is a tour guide in Rome and gave us a VIP tour of the Vatican and St. Peters Basilica. The art, silk tapestries, Raphael and Michelangelo. AHHHH it was so overwhelming.The Egyptian marble on the columns and mosaics were out of this world. I can't even describe it. Gerald just said " It left us speechless". Then we saw the Patheon and every hair on my body stood up. No picture can do it justice you just have to see it yourself. The Trevi Fountain was so crowded we decided to opt for gelato... hazelnut and caramel. Our feet hurt and the funniest thing so far is all restaurant's play American music and not current. Boyz 2 Men, Journey, Michael Jackson and my favorite Rick Astley. Yes people Rick Astley. I was laughing sooooooo hard!! So to sum up the day was awe ispiriring but exausting and we hit the hay early tonight, but not before planning our next"Walking amongst the ancient Romans" adventure. Tomorrow the Fourm and the Colosseum. Tune in next time.
