Rome Day 3 (am)

Vatican visitThe girls and I decided to climb up the 565 steps of the Cupola di San Pietro.We made it! I discovered that Matilda is the fittest person in our family... she ran up! Entering the Basilica di San Pietro.The Pieta by Michelangelo. I remember standing here staring at this as a kid. Now my kids are staring at it with wonder.The Cupola from below.Many Saints. Many stories. Meanwhile, the kids' eyes got bigger and bigger.




Lunch time in Piazza Navona! Cheers!Pesto pasta!! Yum!!The characters in Bernini's Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi sheild their eyes from Borromini's facade."Ah, it's ghastly!"




Fontana del Nettuno"I'm so happy, it's my birthday!"Inside the Pantheon
