The Vatican

The Vatican Museum was immense and amazing.







 I have grown to really like mosaics



 They even had a great door knocker





 We then walked a horribly long way around to St Peter's (we missed a short cut from the Sistine chapel, where the do not allow any pictures) and ended up riding the bus to a place to have lunch.



 Peters Keys



 It was great to see a wonderful nativity

The Vatican Guards

 On the way back to our B&B we stopped at the Spanish steps.  WOW was it ever crowded.

 Off to the side we saw two guys huddling under a silk curtain.  We waited to see what was going to happen.  After 5 - 10 minutes the curtain was removed buy one guy and this is what was left standing.
