Here we are at Saint Peter's Basilica (church) in the Vatican City. This is the largest and by far the most beautiful church building in the world. This buliding, which took 120 years to complete, was erected on the supposed site where Peter was buried after being crucified upside down. Archeologists believe they have discovered the body of Peter directly underneath the alter inside the building.

It's hard to tell how big it really is from the photo, but you can fit the Statue of Liberty in the dome on top of the Church.

The following photos are from the Vatican Museum. For two people who don't really appreciate art, we though this was one of the most beautiful things we have ever seen.

This corridor was about 1/8 of a mile long. The entire ceiling is hand painted.

Geneva, Switzerland was our next stop. Unfortunately the weather was terrible. Rainy and cold.
Posted by Picasa

Maybe someday right?
Posted by Picasa

Switzerland was by far the most expensive place we've ever been to...and ever hope to go. A McDonald's double cheeseburger, small fries and a coke costs about $15. Here we see that in the train station it costs 1 Swiss Frank to use the Urinal, 2 for a toilet and 12 to take a shower. That's about $2.50 for a woman to use the bathroom!

There was some decent music in Geneva.

I'm pretty sure Crystal could've picked this car up if she wanted.

The Swiss Alps. We took a train from Geneva to Milan, Italy.
