Saturday, July 2, 2011 - I went to the Vatican for most of the day. The bus #916 takes me directly to the Vatican. Today you have to go through a security check to get into the Vatican. I spent about 4 hours there. I was able to get in a line and worm my way into a mass at the main altar where the Pope usually says mass. A priest from Naples, Italy said the mass there with 5 other priests. I got some really great pictures of the Vatican while I was attending mass.
The Swiss guards are the official guards of Vatican City. I watched them for a long time. As the men in the foreground approached the guard in from took his sword and slatted it forward as you an see in the picture and the other guard saluted them. Then the guard with the sword brought his sword back upright.
