May 25,2012 Rome 3

We headed back to Rome for the 3rd day in a row and determined to see the Sistine chapel at the Vatican Museum and St. Peter's.We started out going to the spanish steps and the place was very crowded as it was everywhere.We walked a ways and stopped at the Trevi Fountain again crowded with people.It is hard to get good pictures with so many people.We finally got to the Pantheon.The Pantheon is built in the round and the dome served as a model for Michelangelo'sdome of St.Peters.After seeing the Pantheon we decided to go over to see if we could get in to the Vatican Museum.It was around 230 and we were told we should be able to get in.We walked over and were able to get tickets for 3p.m.Yeah!Basically I wanted to see the Sistine Chapel but this museum covers 4 miles of displays and can take up to 4 hours to see and enjoy.We were able to go directly into see St. Peters from the museum so no long wait.Majestic and huge.A must see in Rome.By this time we were completely wore out and head back to the rv.
