Vatican City

We spent 6 hours on a tour exploring the Vatican Museum, the Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica. Thankfully, we had a tour guide pushing us a long way pointing out he highlights and making sure we made it to the end of the Vatican Marathon. I definitely recommend a tour guide as it helps you appreciate what you are seeing and keeps you going. There will be several posts for the Vatican since I have hundreds of photos. Also, on the 11th, I actually say the Pope as he was canonizing 5 people as saints. Pretty cool.
