We loved the coffee in Italy and the kids loved the gelato!

The picture of Lennon reminded us of “The Chocolate Day” he had in Egypt (do you remember that, Lindsay!?) He still talks about that being one of his best days ever.

Swiss Guards at the Vatican City

The Swiss guards mission hasn’t changed in 500 years- it is to protect the pope and his residence.
They are dressed in the traditional renaissance uniform but are highly trained Swiss security professionals. Just like the Swiss mercenaries of the 16th century, these men will sacrifice their life to protect the pope.
