The Vatican

The Vatican was an experience, I mean this in a good way. We enjoyed walking through the many halls and seeing incredible works of art. The Vatican is lined with art and statues, from the floor to ceiling you are surrounded by it. The Sistine Chapel was a once in a life time experience too. Michelangelo was truly a genius. I wish I could have taken pictures inside but it wasn't allowed. Even though I'm not Catholic, The Vatican was a nice tour. There is so much art history there and it was amazing to see it first hand.

Here are some pictures of The Vatican

These were the Candle 'holders' that once lit the halls

This one was my favorite (not sure why)
