Vatican Museum

Oh man Fondo's going to be pissed. They wouldn't let him inside the museum because he's a safety hazard. Apparently his pointy plastic hat is the culprit. Freakin Italians :)

Inside museum, really just too much art and artifacts to take in but it is fascinating nonetheless.

I'm no art expert, but I believe the tapestry above is titled "The Second to Last Supper". Jesus had a dinner party , not everyone showed up. Did a re-invite which led to .... Well you know the rest.

We also visited the Sistene Chapel today. The frescos just leave your mouth open as you stare at the ceiling. Guard does a mediocre job of keeping everyone hush, in fact all you hear every minute is him yelling "Quiet Please !!" "No Camera !!" ;)

"Second to last supper", eh ?

Reminds me of the Monty Python skit ... (re : MP live at the Hollywood bowl)

Keep up the great work, Antonio ...
