Vatican City is a walled enclave within the city of Rome. With an area of approximately 44 hectares (110 acres), and a population of 842, it is the smallest internationally recognized independent state in the world by both area and population.
It is my 2nd time to visit Vatican. This trip is more of a pilgrimage, just in time for Holy Friday. My sisters and I visit mostly churches. What is awesome about Rome--it never changes. Sights, statues, monuments are always an awe. However, the population becomes more varied-more immigrants, more crowded.
My Italy blog is divided into couple of parts--for me to post more pictures.

| The 'golden ticket' to attend the Easter Mass officiated by Pope Francis. Freezing cold and rain won't dampen our spirit. |

| Royal guard... |
 | |
| True there are more guards as ever... |
 |
| Christians or not...people come, see and observe the meaning of Catholicism. |
 |
| Call that timing.. lols |
 |
| But I am able to capture the right moment... |
As I end my visit at the Vatican..let me quote Thomas Paine

| " Vatican is a dagger in the heart of Italy.." |
Thank you for taking time to view my blog.
