Visit to Vatican

St Peter's
This is such a huge + impressive place...it is impossible to show in a pix.
We ....and a few others, are on the way to see the Sistine Chapel. Pix are not allowed in the chapel.
Then, we took the Rick Steves "short cut/fast way" to leave the S.Chapel.
Of course we are impressed with the artifacts we have seen in museums !!! Sharing just a couple with you. This is a Greek sarcophagus....carved from marble.
This is the carved work....up close.
This is a Greek mosaic picture.
...and this is the size of the colored pieces used.
