I wish I could have enjoyed St Peters much more when I went up to the top of the dome. I didnt realize how bad my claustrophobia was until I got to the winding stairs and had to sit down at a small window to get air on my face. It was a beautiful view at the top, but I wish I hadnt had a panic attack in the middle of a cramped stairway.
Rome is absolutely one of my favorite cities to visit though, and the Vatican was beyond gorgeous

These are shocks? According to you, everything is a shock.
It ought to be well known to everyone who goes travelling by now that you don't take pictures indoors. That's true just about everywhere because flash fades colours. If everyone took a picture, there soon wouldn't be any art in the Sistine Chapel to take pictures OF. Same for not touching things. Those aren't shocks, that's just people being ignorant.

Lived in Germany (last time) for 5. 5 years and our BEST vacation was our last; MLK weekend 2011 in Roma! Hardly any tourists, stayed in a hotel right on the corner of Vatican City (Residenza Risorgimento) and we totally lucked out on the weather (in the 60's+) most of the time. Hoping to be moving back to DE in the next 12 months so we can do more visits to this amazing city. ciao for now. and thx Mark!

Thanks Mark, I had ruled out doing Vatican city, mostly cos the crowds but also general disgust at all that opulence and the price it came at (for the common ppl); but I hadn't realised St Peters Basilica was in Vatican city complex and I do rather want to see that AND you pretty much sold me with the postoffice - I assume they handle parcels as well?

As a Catholic, I would absolutely love to come and see Vatican City one day. :) I did go to Denver CO in 1993 for the Pope's visit, which is the closest I ever came to a sitting pontiff, but I honestly don't remember anything of his speech at the stadium that day because I'd spent most of the day being lost and was still frazzled.

You know what is the best of your videos. Your attitude, the way you present the info. You are full of energy. I am going through a mourning process and when I am down I watch your videos and you make me smile and change my mood. Thank you

Mark, it appears that you are a big guy like me. I notice the stairway up to St. Peter's Dome get rather narrow towards the top especially the spiral stairs. Did you find it to narrow for guys like us?

This should be obvious but you'd be surprised how many people are shocked that there is a dress code to get into the chaple. This is a holy site. No shorts, or bare shoulders, or short dresses, etc

3: 16 Yes, and don't touch any of the aircraft at the US Air Force museum and most likely any aircraft museum in the world. The USAF museum is just outside the city limits of Dayton, Ohio.

We just visited Rome and the Vatican during the 3rd week of February, this is still considered the offseason for tourism sp the crowds were low and the weather was absolutely perfect!
