Flag of Vatican City VATICAN CITY, Vatican City
Wednesday, May 30, 2007

TOURED THE STATE OF VATICAN ( VATICAN CITY) - WHERE THE POPE LIVES AND RULES SUPREME - LIKE AN ABSOLUTE DICTATOR,
WHICH HE IS.

I DID NOT GET TO MEET THE POPE

THE VATACAN IS BASICALLY ONE VERY LARGE BUILDING, WITH 100 FT. HIGH BRICK WALLS ALL AROUND IT. IT DOES HAVE DIPLOMATIC RECOGNITION AS A COUNTRY, A U.N. SEAT, AND AMBASSADORS IN COUNTRIES ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

25,000 TOURISTS VISIT THE VATACAN DAILY, THE ENTRANCE FEE IS 12 EUROS ($20 CDN.) - DO THE MATH - THAT IS $500,000 CDN. DAILY.

MICHELANGELOS PAINTINGS ARE TRULY REMARKABLE - AND I AM NOT REALLY THAT BIG ON PAINTINGS - THEY HAVE A VERY PRONOUNCED 3D EFFECT.

THATS ALL FOR NOW
