Throughout Rome, there are numerous people who wear costumes & "pose" for pictures, hoping for donations from tourists. These two gentleman were on the sidewalk, sitting still only until money was deposited & they would hold up their beer with a "cheers" for the donation.  Excellent creativity compared to others I saw.

Rome, Italy - Vatican CIty

The remaining pictures at Vatican City.

The Vatican City Globe was an incredible sculpture.  The center globe remains stationary while the outer globe rotates around it.  It symbolizes how the church remains the immovable center of the world.  I was lucky enough to see the Golden Globe rotate.
