The Vatican

Such a short trip, did make it to Vatican City and to St. Peter's square and basilica, but did not make it to the Sistine Chapel.  But this is okay, I'm certain after a few days here I will be back to Italy some day, and to Rome most likely again also.  I love the Italian demeanor, food, fashion, and people.  Still, from the outside, St. Peter's square was fun to see and lit up at night very beautiful.  It's been in so many movies that I've seen it was a treat to actually walk around the square and have my five senses to explore the air, the sounds, see the Swiss Guard walking by, eat dinner at a table next to some clergy, and take a couple quick photos.  Back to California tomorrow, what a great weekend trip!
