We went to Rome on day three of our cruise. How can you visit Rome and not visit the Vatican? Pretty impressive. Click on the pictures to see the full picture.
St. Peter's Basilica
As you can see, Judy was pretty excited to be in Rome.
The Vatican Museum is huge and filled with incredible treasures.

The sad note for us on this day was that this beyond beautiful building was built to honor God but man spent more time and money on honoring man than they did God!
This statue is a typical example... It is one of the largest most ornate statues in the church and it honors a man. Revelation 2:9 comes to mind...
The end of a perfect day.... AND
No cruise would be complete without "Towel Critters!"
