After a long day of flying (thank God they had free in-flight movies) and layovers we finally arrived in Rome. After we got through customs and off the bus we didn’t have for more than 45 minutes before we had to head to the Vatican. Our guide told us about how the Italy-Vatican border changes depending on whether or not the pope is in St. Peter’s Square.  After lunch (for me, a four-cheese pizza) we headed to St. Peters basilica where we had to climb 320 steps to reach the top of the main dome.

When we got up there everyone was tired and excited. The view was insane. We saw all of Rome and the Vatican. Needless to say I was ready for a good night’s sleep after such an amazing day.
