"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give a reason for the hope you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." 1 Peter 3:15

Vatican, Sistine Chapel, The Spanish steps

Friday was also a very full day. We went to the Vatican, saw the Sistine Chapel (we will NOT talk about the crowds!) and the Spanish Steps. We ate some more amazing food and walked our legs off.
This is the street our apartment was on.

 Had yummy baked goods for breakfast.


 Walking to the City Bus Tour stop....
 Back in Trajan's Forum and Markets.
 Horses and carriages outside the Victor Emmanuel Monument












 Outside the Vatican Museum
 Inside the Vatican Museum
 We took the ramp to avoid the crowds, and we got to see neat replica's of boats!


 From the top looking down the stairwell.




  You can see the crowds that we were walking with, you could not stop to even take a picture, we were sandwiched in.





 Matt's picture inside the Sistine Chapel and then he was told no photos!!!!
 Coat of arms in the museum.
