photo 64


St. Peterskirche is the first cathedral that Sarah and I visited. The church was completed in 1733. The interior is absolutely stunning! The ceiling is 162 feet high! The many friezes and sculpted details were breathtaking. I couldn't take many pictures because Sarah almost got us kicked out. Evidently we stumbled in during the middle of an evening mass. During mass flash photography is not allowed. Sarah forgot to turn her flash off...add to this the fact that she snapped her picture just as the organ came to a halt and well, I think we wore out our welcome fairly quick. Flash + Clicking of camera = sharp look from usher and a loud "sssshhhh" admonishment. We said a quick hail Mary and boogied on out.
