1-pre and 1-post Vesuvius

The post-Vesuvius meal with Susan, Steve and Chuck at Chuck's Italian restaurant pick was amazing. I was too busy enjoying the food to photograph it (all) this time..


Our 18-mile trek up and down Mt. Vesuvius; pictures (for once) in chronological order
















































Sistine Chapel


The Vatican Museum

I didn't realize that in order to get to the Sistine Chapel, one must walk through a long, extremely beautiful, maze of hallways and chambers first.

The first eight photos come 'after' the Sistine Chapel, the rest are on the way to it.
