History is everywhere in Rome.  We were fortunate enough to spend a brief three days there a few months ago, and catch a glimpse of this amazing city.

At the steps of Santa Maria del Popolo

The Vatican museum is covered in art from floor to ceiling, crammed full of things I had only seen in art history books.

St. Peter's basilica is rather awe-inspiring to look at from the floor, but it was even more amazing to view the 5pm mass from the dome.   We were on our way to the cupola, which affords one of the best views of Rome (and trust me, there are a lot).
