Today was a visit to the Vatican Museum and the Spanish Steps. The Vatican Museum includes galleries and halls of Egyptian, Greek and Roman antiquities, tapestries, maps, religious art, modern art, Matisse, mosaics, statues, and of course Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel. Pictures can be taken in every gallery and hall except for the Sistine Chapel. But I snapped one picture just as I was leaving the chapel.
The Spanish Steps are really picturesque and I walked to the top, 132 steps, then down again.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad those Swiss dudes didn't cart you off to an all expenses paid extraordinary rendition in Egypt for stealing from Fuji.
