Probably the people who live there know where it is. And maybe the UPS driver.

Not to keep beating a dead link, but some of these pictures are pretty amazing.

What a fabulous site - THANK YOU!
Much pleasure.

Some were so obviously British.
But then others so patently not so.
Still others I had to look closely at street signs and wonder.
I liked the domestic and the foreign ones.

Obviously the two women in the windows is surely Amsterdam, but cars cannot get into the Red Light District proper, so they can only be from the outskirts.
Still - at least those whores are inside and have a union. Unlike the rest of the parade of whores-around-the-world. Sad.

The Sistine Chapel like you'll never see it any other way...
Breathtaking.

Classic, that's a fantastic link... I've not seen anything like it.

I still can't get over the (cleaned) new colors. One thing that struck me was
that I don't remember anyone pointing out about the tile designs of the floor !

Another thing that impressed me was the number of images on the walls and ceiling.
No wonder Charlton Heston was so pissed with the Pope.

Oooh, I just did.

Incredible. That's probably the only way I'll ever get to see the Sistine Chapel, but wow it almost looks like you're there.

That's pretty cool!

I was there in the 80's but it was before they cleaned it up, so it was all drab and soot covered. And it was very crowded. Like a freakin' mosh pit of pilgrims and nuns. Nothing like this.

Words you never thought you'd hear in succession in your entire life.

Thanks.
My daughter found it. She was GLUED to her computer last night.
After almost an hour, I finally asked her what she was looking at and she sent me the link.
She is planning her dream family vacation for us to all go see it together.
