The Vatican

A country within a city!! It was so beautiful! First we waited in line for 45min to get into the Vatican. Then we got a guided tour of the museum...so much to see in such a little time. Some of our favorite things were the sistine chapel, all the super old statues, and st. Peters basilica! The Sistine chapel was soo amazing! All the art work was soo beautiful...and learning what it all meant was even better! Once our tour was done we headed over to St. Peters square! We went inside the basilica...all the detail to everything in side was so amazing, it was hard to grasp everything. Soon after that we went and talked to a Roman catholic priest and it was very educational. Once done with that we went back to St. Peter's square and talked to a Swiss guard! It was a little hard to understand him since he had a Swiss accent but it was overall really good. We had dinner at this little restaurant and ate really yummy food! We went back to the hotel after that and walked around some. Now it's night time
