On the way out




Vatican post office



Swiss guard


Tut tut, looks like rain. The square where the people gather to see the Pope



The dome from outside


Back down from the cupola




Woo Hoo , we made it!







Now, for the REAL climb ( did I mention it's as tall as a 40 story building!)



On the walkway at the base of the dome



The ceiling



Mosaic paintings along the walkway



Looking down after hiking up to the base of the dome



More amazingness inside St. Peter's (the largest church in the smallest country)









Manhole?


The baldacchino (10 stories high)



The Pieta
