St. Peter's Basilica


Saint Peter's

Some places in the world cannot be accurately represented by photographs or descriptions. You have to physically visit the place and drink in the experienece for yourself. Saint Peter's in Vatican City is one of these places. This is basically the Pope's church and has more history and art in it than whole universities do. The interior of this church is almost unbelievable. It has so many sculptures, mosaics, paintings, and gold that it is difficult to drink in, even after spending an hour inside.
Truly awe-inspiring, and as I have already said, descriptions could not do it justice. I suggest you go experience it for yourself.
Sarema almost didn't get a chance to go inside, which would have been tragic. A guard forbade her from entering with bare shoulders, so she thought quickly and used Hunter's jacket as a shawl. A little small, but it worked.
