Early morning at the Ganicolo and St. Peter's

Up at 5:30 a.m. to catch sunrise on the Ganicolo with Brad Cantrell and Catherine Chin, and then on to climb the 550 steps up to the top of the dome of St. Peter's.




















Zamboni in St. Peter's






I believe Catherine said that official Vatican hazard tape was the souvenir she most wanted.
