Today was the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel!!!
It was wonderful!! Not many people were there and we took our time just taking
in all the beautiful works of art. Of course there is no way to see everything;
it is just too huge. The pictures will show you a selection of things we saw -
statuary, ceiling paintings, and the Pope's carriages and cars.
The Sistine Chapel was the highlight! We were able to
find seats along the wall and spent an hour looking up at the beauty. We had
audio-phones that tried to explain the painting to us, but it is just so
overwhelming, it was hard to take it all in.
