from instagram – Pontifical Swiss Guard at the Vatican

The Pontifical Swiss Guard was established in 1506 and is responsible for the security of the Pope and the Apostolic Palace. It is one of the oldest continuously operating military units in the world. #familytrip #takeyourkidseverywhere #rome #roma #romanholiday #italy #vatican #vaticancity #catholic #apostolicpalace

It is longer than a soccer field and was designed for Pope Gregory XIII. #trekarooing #travelwithkids #familytravel #familytrip #takeyourkidseverywhere #rome #roma #romanholiday #italy #vatican …

Charles Darwin first visited San Cristobal, Galápagos in 1835. He identified various species of finches which varied by island, setting the stage for his theory of natural selection. #trekarooing #galapagos #metropolitantouring @metropolitantouring @yachtisabella2 #takeyourkidseverywhere #familytrip #familytravel #travelwithkids #roadschool
