Day 5 - July 2 - Rome!

They say all roads lead to Rome, and today ours did too. Talk about visual sensory overload. The Vatican museums, the Sistine Chapel, the Colosseum and more -- wow! They say that if you looked at every masterpiece, just in the Vatican, for one minute, and did that 24/7, it would take three weeks to see every one. We had six hours!

Typically amazing art in the Vatican -- before you even get to the Sistine Chapel

Statues in the Vatican

Overlooking Rome

St. Peter's Cathedral (I took the picture and later put my picture in the scene -- similar to photo"journalism" at the New York Times.)

The memorial/mausoluem for unified Italy's first King, Victor Emanuel II

The two couples from Canada that we shared a taxi and driver with for the day.

View of Piazza Venezia from the Emanuel monument. Mussolini's house is on the left. He used to make speeches from there.
