Holy art n'stuff

Went to the vatican today & it was insane. There were thousands of people there, no exxagerations! Our tour guide even commented how crazy it was - all those peeps clamouring to see benny. They hearded us sheeple thru quickly, so we didn't really have a chance to take everything in. Granted, if we took the time to see of all it would take a full week, again, no exaggeration. I've never seen so much amazing art on all my life. So many famous artists, rooms with every nook & cranny touched - it was unbelievable. The Sistine chapel gave me chills, it's hard to appreciate the grandeur without seeing it in peson. U are not allowed to talk or take pictures inside & the have several guards assigned to ensure this does not happen. They enforce by clapping loudly and yelling. I appreciate the irony. St. Peter's basilica is also amazing, I can't believe they had both the knowledge and technology to build something so big and ornate.
Need to snooze, doing more with classmates tonite.
Ciao!

Glad to hear it's all going well! Sounds like a fantastic time! (Only moderately jealous.)
