Rome (Day 2)

Today was a biggie. We saw the Vatican museums, the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica and Square.

The museums had some awesome sculptures.

The Sistine Chapel's fresco's were awesome but I got no pictures of them (its forbidden) but got some good pics of other fresco's. Maybe Jason would have more to say on these. Again, I am not the biggest art lover here, but I was definitely enjoyed learning about how fresco's are created and was awed by the neck breaking work that goes into them.


I think my favorite was the Basilica. The museums were great and the art was amazing but the scale of the basilica just blew me away.


This was only half of a day! I will write about the rest in the next post.
