I forgot to tell you about the holly door. When we toured St. Peter's our guide told us all about the holly door and how it is only open every 25 years. We decided not to wait 17 years for it to open, so we had to walk 6 meters (English translation: forever!) to go in another door.
But we couldn't figure out what the guide meant. He had a slight accent. Maybe he meant holidore, but that sounded like something out of Star Trek.
Now, in Florence, our guide today pointed out a holly cross to us. Yeah, they must have used wood from holly trees for doors and crosses. That must be it.

I think the humor in this entry was a little to subtle. He meant "holy door". But with their Italian accent it came out as holly door, which we thought was rather amusing. We didn't figure out what he meant right away.
