That's the same way we felt -- I had to go home and watch Gladiator to try and get a picture of what it probably looked like before centuries of erosion, earthquakes, and all the other ways it was chipped away at, stone by stone. The kids sang at the cathedrals in Orvieto and at St. Marks, and also sang at the dome in Pisa and at the Pantheon. The acoustics were astounding.


LOL, there are always dimwits in a crowd. After all the warnings our tour guide gave us, after all the definite NO FOTO pictures & warnings when entering the chapel, here was this woman, video camera out, panning the ceiling. Sure enough, a security guard was on her like a duck on water, demanding to see what she had filmed -- and she tried to defend herself. HUH? We were told they could confiscate your camera. Guess she had to erase it.
