The Sistine Chapel

When we got to the Vatican the line for the Vatican museum and the Sistine Chapel was blocks long. We figured we'd skip it, but as we got ready to leave we noticed the line had disappeared. That Sunday admission was free, so the crowds were moving in faster. So we got in with no cost and no wait. It was still crowded inside, but we got to walk through the whole thing in a pretty short time. I'd always thought the Sistine Chapel was just the one ceiling where Michelangelo did his work lying on his back, but the place was huge. It took us almost an hour to make it to the famous ceiling was, but passed through who knows how many other fantastic paintings and sculptures on the way. We're not real aficionados of that, but could tell just how much work was put into all the art that fills the Vatican.
