At the Vatican - vav Vatikana

Ok, my favorite thing i saw at the Vatican was a mummy - I real one (i mean that's what they said on the little piece of paper by the display but who am I to question it).  Everything was in its place - hair, nails, etc.  Oh, except the eye through which they took the brain out during the mummification process. 

Mnogo se vpechatlih ot mumiata, koiato vidiah vav Vatikana v egipetskia muzei.  Pisheshe kolko e stara i t.n. - idi go proveriavai de - kvoto kajat na tova shte viarvame.  No maitapa na strana - mnogo interesno beshe - kosa, nokti, vsichko si beshe na miasto (s izkluchenie na okoto, prez koeto sa izvadili mozaka kato sa ia mumificirali)




Look at these retaining walls!


The St. Peter Basilica was enormous - i don't think a picture does it justice, the dome, the interior, the columns - everything was magnificent and enormous.  
Basilikata na Sveti Petar - Ogromna. 

The St. Peter Basilica Square.  I think in general the size of all the old buildings everywhere was gigantic - everything was huge, i mean look at the people compared to the buildings.  

Vsichko beshe tolkova ogromno, vsichki stari sgradi sa prosto neveroiatno golemi! 

Yep, the guards really do wear those outfits!  I asked Damon how he would feel if he had to wear an outfit like this every day to work.  He said it depends what they pay him and if it's tax free.


Nope - we did not really mail post cards - that's why you didn't get one!

I have been a structural engineer for the last 10 years. But I discovered photography a little over a year ago and have had nothing but fun with it. I started this blog to keep my family in Bulgaria current (and so i don't have to email pictures to everyone) but now i use it for everything.
