Italy - Day 3 - RAI

Day three began with an extended tour through the Vatican including the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica.  We stopped at the post office to mail my dad a postcard with a pope stamp and cancellation from the Vatican.  We then started walking back to our hotel with stops at the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps.  We ate lunch outdoors at a little bistro and stopped somewhere for gelato.  It was a great day!  That evening we took a train to our next stop--Florence.
