PostCards from the Vatican … and Castel Sant’Angelo

Friday, 4 September 2015
Rome, Italy
Temps: HI 86F (30C) / Lo 70F (21C)

Our sightseeing started at 3:00p today with a metro ride to the Vatican where we were hoping to visit Saint Peter’s Basilica before our 7:00p visit to the museum.  That part of our plans didn’t work out as the line to get into the church was very, very … and I mean, very long.  With time on our hands, we walked around a bit, went to check out Castel Sant’Angelo, and then slowly wandered back to the Vatican Museum for our appointed entry time.  WOW!  That’s all I can say about the museum at this time … I need time to process the overwhelming experience.

St Peter’s Basilica and Square

Castel and Ponte Sant’Angelo

One of the many awesome ceilings in the many rooms of the Vatican Museum.
In case you can’t tell … this postcard is faked ;-)

Tomorrow we will return to the Vatican.
