Trevi Fountain, Rome
And yes, we did throw a coin over a shoulder so we will supposedly be returning to Rome someday.

Swiss Guard, St Peter's, Rome
Guard's outfits were apparently designed by Michelangelo.

The Vatican
Notice any similarity between this statue and the one below (other than both being naked men)?

Yes, they both seem to be missing their penis. As do most of the male statues. When I noticed this in Rome itself I assumed it was just a bit of vandalism - but in the Vatican itself? There must be an explanation. Maybe Dan Brown can address it in his next novel.

The Vatican gave me a sore neck, as so much art is on the ceiling.
