Very impressive. I have never been to the Vatican. Most of my travels have something to do with business. I haven't had an actual vacation yet. If I have the money to travel anywhere in the world, I would probably put Vatican City on my top ten list.
Me too, very exciting and nice place to visit. Have to collect much more money to get there.
