All Roads Lead to Rome

in #travel7 years ago

Remembering that time I almost didn't get inside the St. Peter's Basilica in 2012. 8B15E7D0-5FC5-4D7D-ABDB-9556F2B48A12.JPG I arrived early morning in Rome riding the night train from Cote D'azur and I immediately went straight to Vatican City. It was a hot summer day and I was wearing sleeveless and jumper. The guards did not allow me to enter the basilica because of my outfit. I was already thinking of going back to the main station to get my bag and change clothes.Luckily, the Chinese family I met outside earlier saw my dejected face. The father offered his coat and the mother lent me her shawl. I looked ridiculous walking inside the cathedral but I was happy to finally visit the holiest place for Catholic and to be blessed by strangers' kindness.
