Waiting for the Bus




With Wayne is Arianna, our Rome guide. We'll be catching the last public bus we'll ride in Italy. Tonight is a farewell dinner and tomorrow is the trip home. We're ready!

Swiss Guard




These were the only Swiss Guards we saw.

St. Peter




We were told that for good luck, rub St Peter's right foot. You can look at it and tell that thousands have rubbed it.

Inside St. Peter's




This church is unbelievably huge!

Pieta




Inside St. Peter's is the Pieta by Michelangelo. It is the only work by Michelangelo that he signed. He was 25 years old when he sculpted it, in 1499.

St. Peter's Basilica




We were blown away at the size of this building and the whole Vatican area. This is the largest church in the world,

Fountain




One of three fountains in the Piazza Navona.
