This morning we went to see the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel followed by St. Peter's Basilica. Because our tour guide, Antonella, was so well versed in all things Vatican, St. Peter's and Micheangelo we viewed everything differently than if we had just walked in off the street to 'see the Vatican'. The Sistine Chapel was much smalleou look closely yr than we had anticipated and St. Peter's was a lot bigger! Several of the 'paintings' at St. Peters are actually mosaic images which you would not know unless you look very closely. Note: I can't figure out how to make the photos go where I want them... but I think you'll figure out what image goes with which comment. We spent the afternoon looking around in Rome during 'free time'. Many restaurants and food shops create 'still life's' using products they sell... the third photo reflects a very appetizing one! That is all for now. Tomorrow I hope to write about our Tuesday in Assisi and our entry into Tuscany and the wine country.
