Vatican City

We spent our first full day in Rome at Vatican City. We began with a tour by Michael, again from Presto Tours. Michael came to Italy as a young man, fell in love with and married an Italian woman. Since we put Michael's age at around sixty, he's lived in the country a very long time.

Michael entertained us with his knowledge of Vatican City history, the contents of the museo and his enthusiasm. Our three hour tour turned into over four hours--including a lunch break for, what else?, ham, salami and cheese panini--because we all enjoyed ourselves so much.
