Hello Vatican



Michelangelo's Pieta from 1499

Massive
rani, me, hannah: waiting to enter the Vatican

time for mass, peeping through a keyhole (not the Pope)
nuns are plenty
one of many churches we've been too

mosaic from around the 4th century. original
the church was dedicated to these to sisters who housed/hid early Christians before Constantine's time until they themselves were martyred. incredible
again, all original mosaic


homework in the museum, typical
original portraits from the Republican era, hehe

  1. Neenah, what are these things that keep appearing on your head? I love the nun shot.
    You be careful in Florence. I saw Hitchcock's
    "To Catch A Thief" last night. It was shot on
    location in the French Riviera. Not too far from where you'll be. Love, Dad
