Folks, you can't imagine how I felt when we looked at the large walled "country" within Rome. It was even more heart pounding when I saw that huge entrance way to enter the Eternal City. To be honest, I truly never thought I'd ever get to Rome, never mind seeing the Vatican! We'll I did! What a place! It was Christmas time and they had the Nativity scene and a Christmas tree set up. Since we had a private tour, we were able to skip all the long wait lines.
Every where you looked, your eyes were witnessing wonders. The ceilings and walls were filled with precious historical statues or murals or scenes painted by the greatest of all painters. I have so many pictures to post on the Vatican, that it was impossible to post them all here.
Our guide was a fabulous person and very knowledgeable. I would suggest to anyone that a private tour is the best way to go. Search on line for the best tour guides and read the reviews people write. It will give you an excellent inside as to whether or not the company is reputable and if they provide great tours at a reasonable costs. I would also suggest you haggle with them to get their price down and or to include things you want they may not have listed.
I have not included St. Peter's church here so when I finally write the post and put up the pictures, hopefully you will be as amazed as we all were.
Well it's time for me to say so long for now, please enjoy the pictures and know there will be lots more to come. Thanks for stopping by.
