Vatican City

What can I say about this place... It's simply amazing, especially the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. I took a guided tour through the Vatican because it was recommended by Eney, Brock, and Kruse (they started in Rome and said the tour was helpful) and it made the everything that much more interesting and impressive. Michelangelo's work in the Sistine chapel was really just a repaint reluctantly done in servitude to the pope for very low pay, and St. Peter's Basilica is massive and elegant.
