My 1st day in Rome was spent touring the Vatican Museums and St. Peter's Basillica and Square. Without a doubt, this was my favorite day of the trip so far and is something I will not forget. Some of the highlights included the Sistine Chapel and climbing to the cupola of the Basillica (which is where this picture was taken). However, the highlight for me was seeing the tomb of St. Peter which was in the Catacombs underneath the Basillica. While it was not extremely impressive visually, it was amazing to think and reflect on who he was and what he meant to the faith.
