Thursday---Vatican City

We arose early this morning to beat the crowds at the Vatican.  Turns out we didn't make it.  It also turns out that the tour guides offering "skip the line" services still take a good hour to get you inside.  Granted this is better than the two hour wait in the sun but not what you think you are signing up for.  After the 2.5 hour tour of the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel, we walked through St. peters Basilca.  Everything was pretty amazing.  The Vatican was probably my least favorite event due to the massive crowds.  Very chaotic and cramped, but it is Definately worth it after it is all said and done.
