DON'T JUMP!
this is from my hostel room window

The street I'm on... It's raining today

Orange Fanta....that's yellow

Just arrived at San Pietro's Square...

Walking in the courtyard

This place in incredibly huge

Me in San Pietro's Square, in front of the Basilica
oohhh ahhhh wooowwww

Chris, same spot

We think it means:
Men in Spandex Wrestling Singlets - Not Allowed

Here's the entry way

Damn the blurry pictures

The ceiling

Well, you can see me, that's all that matters anyway huh?

This is on the side of the building when we were trying to figure out where to buy a ticket to the top.

After the first set of stairs...

Now we have to go through that little door and continue upward...

Chris

View looking down into San Pietro's Basilica

eerie staircase to nowhere

View from the little windows on the staircase

Here's a stickingmyhadoutthewindowandhopingIgetagoodshot picture

All of them came out good though

Here's the tiny staircase we were on.
"Are you taking a picture of my ass?" -Chris
"Yes, I'm taking a picture of your ass..." -John

You can't really tell, but the walls were curving in

We're thinking those nubs to the right of the bars where an old built-in stone ladder

The camera is vertical in this photo... the walls are not

The curve of the dome

on this staircase (on the left) you have to hold the rope for support

Because the steps are damn tiny

View from the top

You can see all of Rome from here

At least it feels like you can see all of Rome from here

Graffiti on the top of the Basilica
They're going straight to Hell

We tried to find the Colluseum, but couldn't

Here's the exit stairs
Personally I think a fireman pole would have been much cooler

Back at ground level

Went to the Colluseum so Chris could see it

I like how this shot came out...
If I had a tripod it would have been awesome
