Trip to the Vatican!

I have at least three big picture posts to do, so I wil try to cover them as quickly as I can over the next few days, because things are getting crazy here. I only have three weeks left of school, so I have a half dozen papers to write. But I will certainly find the time to wrap things up, I promise!

Okay, here are my pictures of my trip to the Vatican over spring break!

This should give you a picture of the masses of people that I had to get through to actually see the Vatican. The line moved really quickly, though, so that's a plus.

A member of the Swiss guard.

Nothing exciting to see here; I just really liked this fountain.

And here's another thing that I enjoyed:

That's right- a monk hanging out on the basilica with a laptop and 80s-style rollerblades.

I just found that entertaining, not sure why.

Another cloud picture. JUST BECAUSE.

Me, obviously.

And now for some pictures actually inside the Basilica- I didn't go see the Sistine Chapel because you have to pay money for that one.

(BTW, those letters at the top of that arch? Each one is 6 feet tall.

The main altar of the Basilica.

I absolutely adore this.

Happy Easter! I have pictures to post from both my weekends in Capri and in Nice, but I'll have to split those up into separate posts. See you soon!
