St.peters basilica

Today was the Vatican day. We walked all the way to Vatican city and then ended up wAlking all day long and our feet are really tired. We started at St. Peters which was huge. I didn't get an idea of how big it was until we walked all the way up to the cupola to see the view. 551 steps! We have been to a lot of big churches but this was the biggest. After having some more pasta and gelato, we went to the Vatican museum. Went through an incredible maze of old roman heads, tapestries, maps, paintings, until we made it to the Sistine chapel. It was amazing! We then found our way to the Italian masters section and saw Raphael, bernini, Leonardo, michelangelo, and others. We waddled our way back home and now are thinking about how to find dinner with the least steps. More pasta!
