Attn: I storm the Vatican

Sign in to disble this ad
Okay, just thought I'd share with you these shoddy pictures I took when I visited Rome/the Vatican this summer. It was amazing being there, seeing the things which some find such reverence in. I just liked the look of it. Sadly, all the guys in our group got to go in, but none of the women did because it was deemed they were dressed inappropriately! Too much shoulder and leg on show! (which the Pope probably loves).

Without further ado...





Look at these daft Swiss Guards!















And here is some Tuscan countryside.



Discuss.

I am not religious but the inside pics are awe inspiring. The amount of history there is mind blowing.

It's just the architecture that does it for me, I've never seen anything like it!

Bet you're glad you had your shoulders and knees covered then, otherwise you'd have been looking at it from the outside!

Hey, I've posted pics of my wife, and even shared a comment from her daughter (mid-20's) calling her a MILF!

...again, no pics, no underdressed female companions!

So, which is it, were you telling an untruth in the first post, or in the one quoted?

IMO, that's a colossal waste of money that could be used to help the needy. One of the many reasons I loathe organized religion.


All that aside, cool pics! lol
