The Vatican City

We went to the smallest nation in the world, the Vatican. I purchased the tickets online, for the Vatican museum before we left, and it was the one of the smartest things I did. The line for those without tickets was about 5 blocks long. It wrapped around almost to St Peter's Basilica and it was the hottest day so far. If you plan on going to the Vatican museum and Sistine Chapel, purchase your tickets ahead of time and save yourself the aggravation.  
 
 
 The Vatican museum was amazing, I'm sure that I missed some of the rooms. There was so much to see, from the floors to the ceilings.

Brody really enjoyed the Egyptian Room and all the mummies.
 


















 

We went to the Vatican post office and purchased a couple of postcards, and mailed one to ourselves.




No one is allowed to take photographs in the Sistine Chapel, so I couldn't put in here but it really was amazing but really crowded.
