I think this is the highlight of every one of my trips to Roma. I never get tired of this view. it is utterly breathtaking. I love the long, walk up. The stop at the inside of the cuppola, the view of the Diciples and Jesus from the top of St Peter's. It is all just amazing.
On our first Sunday afternoon in Rome, G and I decided that we needed to head on up to the top of St Peters. We were in a huge line and it was getting late, so we decided to go halfway on the elevator. Good choice. Halfway through our wait they decided it was going too slowly and so they used another elevator. We were put in the group to tromp through St Peter's to the other side and go up. We missed a long line!!
These steps are crazy. Clearly, Italy does not have the same litigation insurance problems that we do in the US. The whole climb is a bit dicey. Not for the faint of heart. Literally. I'm so thankful I've been able to travel while I was young and youngish, so that I can do things like this more than once...while I still can...
The Vatican Gardens
That's my boy!
