Vacanza di Roma! Thursday - Vatican Museum

Last day in Rome... whah!!! This day was actually cooler than the other days. We decided to head to the Vatican city first. There were basically NO WAITS!! WOW! I heard it was forever, but we must have had God on our side. Here are lots of pictures of the Vatican Museum. We ended in the Sistine Chapel... and you couldn't take pictures in it so I got some postcards.

Dustin had read that all the statues and paintings were painted anatomically correct. And then in the 1600s one of the Popes decided that all sinful flesh needed to be covered. If you look closely you can see little leaves over the 'sinful flesh' They painted over Michelangelo's paintings as well!
