The Vatican (WOW!)

Spent the afternoon at the Vatican... quite amazing. An unrivaled collection of art and artifacts... our guide said that there were 4 miles of hallways in the Vatican museums, and if you were to spend two minutes at each display, it would take 12 years to complete... We only had three hours, so we missed one or two things! our tour guide was a Protestant, so we got an interesting insight into the lives of the Popes (not all so "Holy", you might say). Truly an amazing site, some breathtakingly beautiful works, The Pieta is really a moving piece...
