Marlene and I signed up for
a tour of some other Church’s and the Catacomb's one afternoon, and this was
the bus that we rode on. Kind of cute ? Anyway they will not let you take pictures
in the tombs, and they have taken all the bones out because people were stealing
them! Very interesting and worth seeing. After the tour we could chose a place
to be dropped off on way back, so we chose the Trevi Fountains. They are very
picturesque, and crowded! |

This is a picture of St. Peter’s
Basilica! After visiting for the 3rd time and visiting the Capitol
Building, I am convinced that Michelangelo was more of a genius as and architect
& sculptor than as an artist, painting the Sistine Chapel! |
