Monday was our day for the Vatican. We started at St. Peters Basilica. I'm not positive but I'm assuming this is St. Peter as it is the statue at the front of the church.
We decided to save the couple euros by walking to the top of the dome rather than paying to take the elevator. Word of advice to anyone who visits St. Peter's in the future....pay the money! Poor Mary did the whole thing on her sprained ankle and I honestly don't know how she survived. But the view of the dome was beautiful.
After getting an up close view of the dome we walked a few more hundred steps to the very top for a spectacular view of Rome.
This is Taylor being Italian (or at least Mary's attempt at making Taylor look Italian.) Apparently the "in" thing is the roll up your sleeves and wear your collar up.
Mary has an obsession with lions and made me take a picture of every one we came across. These were on an ancient Roman bath in the Vatican museum. She tried to hide it in most pictures but notice the wrapped ankle.
Mmmmm!!! We lived off gelato! Breakfast, lunch, and dinner...no exaggeration. 
One of my favorite evenings...we strolled from Campe de Fiore, the piazza pictured here, to Trevi Fountain. As we found out, Italy is very much a night town. They shut down for siesta and then everyone comes out in the evenings.
Along the way we stopped at the Pantheon.
According to Mary you throw in one coin to Trevi fountain to come back to Rome and two coins to find love.
Mary of course threw in two.
