Vatican & Pisa. P3 easter trip

We didn't see the whole town of Pisa, we just saw the Piazza dei Miracoli (plaza of miracles) and the Leaning towner of Pisa.



^^ here is The Plaza of Miracles.This name was created by the Italian writer and poet Gabriele d'Annuzio who described the plaza as The Ardea rotated over the sky of Christ, over the meadow of Miracles."

We had a tour to the Vatican City. The Tour Guild showed the group where the Pope came to give his two yearly speaches to the public and then where he waved to the public on sundays before church. The italians were getting ready for the Easter Celebration and to me, it looked like thousands of chairs all lined up row after row. It interests me greatly how the Vatican City is its "own country" with the population at 826.


St. Peter's Basilica holds 60,000 people in one sitting.



^^ The interior of St. Peter's Basilica. It was amazing, it really was.
