Rome

Inside the Vatican museum


Michelangelo's famous painting "The Creation of Man" inside the Sistine Chapel


St Peter's Bascilica, the largest cathedral in the world

We saw the pope! He came by in his motorcade! He had been visiting the president of Italy and was on his way back home to the Vatican.

One of our students standing beside this sign that is outside of St Peter's Basilica. You can figure it out!
Michelangelo's stunning sculpture "The Pieta" - Mary holding Jesus in her arms after his crucifixion.

You get a feel for how massive the cathedral is inside when you see how small the people are in this picture!


The Wedding Cake

Pantheon

Tim and I in front of Trevi fountain

The Arch of Constantine
