After an early morning and a hurried breakfast at the hostel, I hoped onboard the trains and buses to get to Termini station in downtown Rome. We decided to do the Vatican today and I was looking forward to the pinnacle of church visits on the trip.

After getting out of the train at the Vatican we walked past and endless stream of solicitations for guided tours of the Vatican. I wanted a tour, but I figured there’d me more legitimate stores offering these tours. (Mom said that Uncle Kevin and Aunt Susan told her I should get one of these.) We did not find one of these shops by the time we’d walked into St. Peter’s Square though.
