Good pic of the sistine chapel. There was a guard there who keeps telling us not to take a pic, but then other people were taking pics. Hmmmm, wish I took one too. Great web page, very informative.

The world' smallest state! Friends came back gushing about the Sistine Chapel. Should be quite a sight I must imagine!
