And On to Rome!

After a week in Tuscany, I couldn't imagine anything else

measuring up to the beauty I had found there.
If you've read my last few posts, you know that I am in love with Tuscany!
But the next phase of my journey led to a very
different type of beauty.

Our hotel, the Michelangelo, was right down the street from The Vatican.
Here I am, on the tiny balcony outside our room,
with the dome of St. Peter's in the background.
At night it is lit up and very beautiful to see.

We visited St. Peter's, the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel,

and the exquisite artwork was well worth the hours we spent waiting in lines.

Could this be my next kitty?

We had a wonderful time in Rome, saw all the sights, witnessed

the very moving sense of faith and the beautiful 

old buildings -

a real contrast to the countryside of Tuscany,

but a very fitting ending to our Italian journey.

Now, onto interpreting some of this beauty into a new series of fiber pictures.

Ciao, everyone!!
