Today was amazing as usual. I woke up refreshed from a great night of sleep. I had a delicious buffet breakfast then caught a cab to my next hotel. The Hilton Rome Cavalieri…WOW!!! This place is nice!!! I get a tour of

 the Conference center then head back into town. I get to the Vatican around 1:30 or so finally. First stop is St Peter’s Square. This square is huge, just like the church. After St. Peters I head over to the entrance to the Museum. The Museum is packed. I felt like I was in a sardine can the whole way through, but it was totally worth it. The statues and works of art are quite impressive. Once again I don’t know what else to say. Words can’t explain this place. It is a must see for everyone. Here are some pictures to tide you over if you have never seen this place. Pictures don’t even do it justice.

 

After the Museum I head into the Sistine Chapel and sit for about an hour. I wish it wasn’t so crowed, but most of the time I am able to just tune out the noise and enjoy the masterpiece above me.

 

From the Chapel I head into St Peter’s. This place is massive. I mean you could easily fit a dozen Sacred heart’s in there.

 

After I finish with the Vatican City I head back to the downtown main and side streets. I do a little shopping and have some dinner. By this time it is around 2000 and time to get on the bus back to the hotel.
