Weird White World

While I was in Rome, I paid a funny visit to the Vatican - I had to! It was amazing how we entered an underground garage & took the elevator at 11 PM... Crazy! But it looks great, of course! San Pietro is really amazing & the square makes you feel so small...
The museum is SO big, but there's so much to see in it! Don't miss it! :)
