Today was spent at the Vatican City. We had guided tour both of the Scave, which is the excavations that take you right under St Peter's Bascillica and a direct view of St Peter's grave. The entire Bascillica and Catholic Church is literally built on St Peter's foundation (grave), just as Jesus stated in the Bible. Fascinating.
Then in the afternoon we met up with our Roman guide, Federica d'Orazio, who gave us a personal tour of the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Museums. There is so much art in the Vatican it's beyond comprehension. It's actually overwhelming, but Federica's knowledge made it manageable. Michelangelo's ceiling was breathtaking.
Getting to and from Vatican City was also an adventure, as we navigated the Roman bus system for the first time. They have no schedule, but simply come and go as they please. Just my style. Obviously, Joel is writing now.
Enjoy the pic.
