Vatican

We’ve shuffled our schedule a little today due to the Pope. We figured if we were going to see the Vatican, we’d better get in there as soon as possible. We arrived Saturday and didn’t do anything because of the time when we arrived. Sunday, Vatican stuff is closed. Monday we had a prearranged ticket for the Coliseum tour. So today we went to the Vatican. We squeezed in to St. Pete’s just as all the Cardinals were entering for the mass before they all get locked up for Conclave.

Couldn’t see a thing. The basilica is huge and a tour destination in its own right, but there was no room to move in there.
