Vatican City

Day 77

St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City. To the far right of the picture, the rectangular roof line is the Sistine Chapel and where they send out the smoke to declare a new pope has been elected. The Vatican has it's own post office and the stamps are not good anywhere in Italy except in Vatican City since the Vatican is considered it's own country and not part of Italy at all. When I sent you the first post cards they had the Vatican Stamp and postmark.
