Rome Day 2

Our 2nd day in Rome. The Vatican and the Colosseum.



The Vatican Museum


Egyptian Mummy.


Plaza in middle of museum.


Zeus. Zeus was every where in Rome.



Bronze Hercules.


The Holy Family.






YOu weren't allowed to take pics in the Sistine Chapel...so I turned off my flash and took this as we were walking out. Sneaky, sneaky!

St. Peter's Square. This is a pic of the Basilica and the Pope's window is in the middle.













The Coloseum!!!

Gladiator!


The holes aren't from the earthquake. They are from the Romans taking the metal supports (for earthquake damage prevention.) during the dark ages. Thus the place crumbling during the earthquake.





Victory Arch.








Ruins from Ancient Rome. A lot of this has been excavated.









Zeus!



Capitol Square.



Monticello Theatre

Circus Maximus



The view from the plane over France, headed home!
