Above is the start of the line to see Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel. Maria and I--the sassy travelers that we are--thought it would be a good idea to go on the only day of the month that it was free.
While we were trying to find the end of the line, Maria kept saying over and over: this is the longest line I have ever seen in my whole life!
And I kept saying: I don't think the Sistine Chapel is worth it. Blasphemy, I know. But cuh'monnnnnn...
The end is way far away (sorry, I can't figure out how to turn this photo the right way). But we did find the end--all the way in the piazza of San Peter.
