Rome Italy - Vatican Day

Nothing like hanging out with 50,000 other people wandering through Saint Peters - and only 35,000 this time of year through all the rest of the place.  

Amazing things to see and definitely that pious, simple belief in heaven story that they sell sure isn't the game they have played for centuries or even live today.   

And there sure is no shortage of Catholic Churches in Italy - and Rome may have as many as the rest of the country combined.   Tourist overload if  you enjoy checking out old churches.

Rome Italy - Tackling the big tourist stops

 

Been to Rome a few times and mostly wandered and got around the edges of the most recognizable sites to see - didn't get in.  

Took a few days this trip to make sure I got in to as many of the BIG spots as I could - and some random wandering as well.  First day was the Coliseum, Forum and Pantheon.  Got some bonus stops along the way with the tour as well.  

It gives  you lots of perspective on both history and how much hasn't changes in thousand and thousand of years.   

It is the end of the "season" but still throngs and throngs of people everywhere.
