Another ambitious day of walking in Rome. We are off to see St. Peter's Basilica and nearby Castel Sant'Angelo. We followed an ancient wall most of the way there. (Remember that we are on a hill.) Going there was not bad. Coming back was just a little taxing.
Here's our route. We followed the blue dots.
There were a lot of people at St. Peter's this day. There was a rumor that Papa Francesco was going to appear, but it didn't come true.
We spent some time looking at the markers under foot. They are strategically placed where a shadow falls from the obelisk shown above. What does this one indicate?
We decided to go to Castle Sant'Angelo for lunch and then come back for Mass at St. Peter's.
How's this for a nice view?
It's almost impossible to capture the magnificence of St. Peter's.
