St. Peter's Square, Rome, Italy
St. Peter's Basillica, Rome, Italy
Trajans's Square, Rome, Italy
Rome's "Capital"
View from the top of St. Peter's Basillica
Another shot looking out over St. Peter's Square
Yet another shot from the dome of St. Peter's Basillica
The walkway one has to use to get to the top of the dome in the Basillica
Inside the Basillica...it was pretty awe-inspiring. The words you see scrolling horizontally are 7 feet tall and are covered with gold leaf
Another shot of the Basillica's inside
Paul's tomb
Pope John Paul II's tomb located inside and under the Basillica where most of the other pope's are entombed
The Swiss Guard...they are a group of approx. 100 soldiers whose sole duty is to defend and protect the Pope. They maintain a 24/7 guard.
One of the Swiss guards. They've worn this outfit for centuries. Fairly distinctive get-up, is it not?
The Colleseum, Rome, Italy
Inside of the Colleseum. Back in the day, 50,000 Romans filled this place to watch the Gladiators duke it out.
Another shot of the inside. A lot of the pre-match preparation went on underneath the floor of the Colleseum (which you can see here).
You can see what the floor would look like. Romans used elevators to raise and lower lions/gladiators/etc. to the main floor
Christopher Columbus. Distinctive landmark of Barcelona, Spain
Sacred Family Church...another Barcelona landmark. This building has been under constant contruction for over 100 years...and it's not near complete!
View of La Rombla (main street) in Barcelona, Spain. Taken from the top of the Sacred Family Church
Another shot of the Sacred Family Church

Another shot of a helo coming in for a landing
Heading home via the Suez Canal...
Transiting through the Suez Canal
Shooting our 5" 54 caliber gun
Pie-in-the-face day. Pay money to throw a pie in the person's face of your choosing. Sitting is our Executive Officer. Poor guy.
Mmmmmm.....cheesecake. My favorite.
All in good fun...
