St. Peter's Basilica-not possible to get a good picture of the whole, it is so amazingly proportionate and beautiful. It truly is Michelangelo's gift.

On to Rome
We got up and got on a bus that drove us to Rome. We were in a hurry to meet our tour guide for our "See Rome in One Afternoon" tour. I was so tired from not sleeping again that I could hardly keep my eyes open and looked for anywhere to sit down. I really tried to enjoy the tour even though I had a hard time understanding all the pagan, mythological and spiritual all mixed together at the Vatican although it didn't bother anyone else. It was quite a change from Toscana by the Sea. The cars drive anywhere they want, make their own lanes and weave in and out of very tight spaces. Our guide did a very good job of giving us a taste and moving on to the next room.
The end of an incredible trip to Italy. I loved every minute. I was surprised by how much I loved the country and the people I met. I thought I was a Switzerland/Germany kind of girl, but Italy ranks right up there--at least Tuscany.

magnifico e grazie per tutti the eccellente fotos!
Robert, I thought you spoke German, are you a closet Italian? You would fit right in.
I want to go there! The whole trip looked like a blast.
Ok, I just figured out how to comment again. Tell Grandma to change her settings on blogger to have comments come up in a popup instead of being imbedded in the post. Somehow it fixed my problem.
