The Vatican itself - which we had seen in Cineac Amsterdam a week earlier - was grandiose, full but expansive , with Saint Peter + key and foot (to be touched by the faithful) , loud guides, confession booths for all languages, beautiful womenfolk, and the serene La Pieta (left) by Michel Angelo. Tombs (Crypts) of all the Popes in the cellar, magnificent.

We enjoyed a good lunch in a small restaurant nearby, where we were led by handbills and a young boy. |

Next, we slowly drove along the River Tiber and, after seeing the island and bridge (left, with Rose), entered Rome . |
