April 20th, Rome

Another kick ass day in rome.

after chatting it up witha nice couple from Wales, andrew and i ventured out to Vatican City.

On the way out there we ran across the Treve fountain, a kick ass piece of out door art work.

After going though metal detectors and waiting in line for about an hour, we finally made it past the gates and headed up St Peters catherdiral.

first we took 312 stairs, i didnt count the number was posted, to the base of the huge rotunda. this massive structure is about 300 ft across, and was hand painted by Micalengo him self.

then another 233 stairs to the top of the rotunda, which gave an awe inspiring 360 degree view of rome.

we deseneded the 555 totall stairs and headed in to St Peters. the second we got in there it was no suprize that at capasity that thing holds up to 60,000 people. i really really wish i could up load my pics, becuase i dont think i can do that place justice in words.

o! big news! we got tickes to the soccer game on sunday, a home game for romes biggest and most popular team.

big news part 2! my borhter and his wife are going to\are in the process of\have had thier first child, a girl, Lila. congrats! even though you are prob both at the hostpital right now...
