Rome and Vatican

 Another early morning getting ready for our day.  Today we went to the Vatican and therefore had to be covered up both shoulders and knees.
 The Swiss guard was doing that guarding thing...
 We had bought an umbrella to try to get some shade on this day as we knew it was going to be hot.  Jacqueline was nice enough to carry it but I'm pretty sure none of the other tourists were that thrilled about that given that she was holding it at adult eye level.
 We found the inside of the church very elaborate
 Jacqueline trying to impersonate an angel...
 and posing for a photo at Mom's request
 and another
 Bob often took photos of me taking photos.
 and of course my backpack acquired drinks and sundries from all three girls as the day progressed.
 Thankfully we got to the front of the line to get into the Coliseum due to our Disney tour.  This was important as everyone on the planet chose this very hot day to come to Rome.
 We learned to stop for photos in the shade when we could.
 and to take naps on the bus.
 back on the ship we found Tatiana for a photo op.
and a bull to give us chocolate
