Today we went to the Vatican museum and the Sistine Chapel.... was an interesting experience. Lots and lots of art, mosaic and sculptures everywhere you looked. It was difficult to take it all in as they cram people in like sardines. The Sistine Chapel was great, I can see why Michaelangelo went blind doing it haha, incredible detail. Of course you cannot take photos in the Sistine Chapel as the Japanese have the copyright to it, seriously. The Vatican tour lasted from 9:30am to 12:30pm. We were starving so walked around and ate our first overseas McDonalds meal haha and it tastes waayyy better over here. Instead of taking a taxi back to our hotel we decided to spend the afternoon walking back which took a little over an hour and thank god for GPS with all these little streets everywhere. The best thing about walking is that you get to see all the little stores, restaurants, and how the local people interact with eachother. They definately talk with their hands. We get to meet our tour group in about an hour.... so will continue this hopefully after our time in Florence. Thank you for the comments, we are having the best time. Ciao!
