Party of 6

We can now say that we have visited the smallest country on Earth.

Fun Fact: The Vatican is guarded by the Swiss Guard. Despite the colorful, traditional Renaissance uniform they wear, they are highly trained soldiers.  Why the Swiss Guard? The Swiss have a history of being loyal to the Pope and Vatican for over 500 years and are seen as being politically neutral.

We had the amazing opportunity to be at the Vatican for Palm Sunday service.

We also went to the Vatican Museum that includes the Sistine Chapel. The museum was absolutely massive and full of history, art, statues, and tapestries that all tell the story of Christ and the history of the Catholic Church. You cannot take photos in the Sistine Chapel, so that one will have to stay in the memory bank, but we got photos of the museum.
