The Vatican museum was certainly a unique place to visit. I had
such a wonderful day looking at all the sculptures, tapestries, majestic
ceilings and pictures. I particularly enjoyed going through the Egyptian
section of the museum. I have always been interested in Egyptian history so I
found it very refreshing to have the opportunity to look at all the ancient
artifacts, sarcophagus, and even a strange-looking mummy.
I could not believe how
many people were visiting the museum. It was hard to walk and take pictures at
the same time because I was practically being pushed, but I suppose when more
than 20,000 people visit a place in a single day things have to be done fast
and efficiently.
The Sistine Chapel was the highlight of my trip. It evoked a
range of emotions in me that are difficult to explain. I felt passionate and
even more identified with my religion than I have felt in the past fifteen
years. It was such a peaceful place and if I was given the chance I would go
back to in a heartbeat.
Sounds magnificent.
