I am taking forever to finish up my 2 weeks in Italy posts. I think I have at least one more post- Milano. This post is one of our last days in Rome where we spent at the Vatican Museum. I feel foolish to say this but I never really, really appreciated Raphael's work growing up but seeing it in real life, I begin to grow a love for him. His work is amazing as I am sure many of you already knew. We last visited the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican Museum. I had no idea we were not allowed to take photos in there, specifically of the ceiling... that was the only area in all of the museum we couldn't. But the first thing I did when I walked into the room was snap a photo. Then I walked into a sign that stated the obvious.... "NO PHOTO" Lucky me! I felt guilty but listened, now that I knew. The Sistine Chapel is suppose to be a holy, sacred place but it saddened me to see it was the complete opposite. People talking and guards yelling like crazy to be quiet?? It was a great experience to see all the things I've been learning from textbooks and classes for the past 5 yrs. We really loved our time in Rome!
