This is the large, bronze statue of St. Peter, probably created in the 13th century. His right foot is worn smooth from centuries of visitors touching it as a long standing tradition.
Looking up at the dome of St. Peter's Basilica, right above the main altar. It's quite hard to comprehend how this could have been built so many centuries ago, with no electricity, and only person power. Really quite impressive.
And finally, the crew from MCSS in front of St. Peter's Basilica after leaving the church. Earlier in our visit, we drove by at night while the Pope was in his bedroom. Mary, our tour guide pointed out the two windows, on the top floor of the building, far right, with the lights on. His windows are just outside the frame of this photo. Once again, beautiful weather helped keep everyone smiling.
