The Vatican

The first of November was All Saint's Day, a National Holiday, so we got a day off of school. And since we only have class three days a week anyway... 11 of us went to Rome for five days. And it was warm! It snowed here in Vienna when we were gone and it hasn't snowed since, so we went just at the right time :)
We went to the Vatican and heard the pope speak the first day. he came out and spoke leaning out of his little window. The Vatican museum was amazing, and you can see me in the little courtyard there. There was SO much art there, it was really image overload for my brain- I couldn't take it all in.
St. Peter's Basilica was HUGE! I couldn't believe it. We went to mass while we were in St. Peter's. It was sweet.
