Ah, Roma. The Eternal City.
We visited in 2006. So why am I just posting this now? Guess I realised that I wanted to keep the memories of this place after so many years and so many lost files.
I loved this place. Crazy beautiful people zipping past us on their Vespas, Gucci, Pucci and D & G boutiques lining cobblestone streets, the best thin crusted pizzas I've ever tasted (with artichokes and a raw egg cracked in the middle), and stopping by every street for a gelato in a new flavour.
View of the Vatican City from the top of St. Peter's Basilica.
Inside...imagine the wealth that built this place. Peasants' offerings, Lords' gold, knights' blood, all hoping for a ticket to Eternal Life.
Permanent displays of the wealth and splendour of the Catholic Empire.
The Piazza San Pietro, or St. Peter's Square.
