Rome Day 2 - The Vatican

On our second day in Rome we visited the Vatican. The ornate texture of the place is grand in it's vastness and caused sensory overload. The art work contained therein can vault one back in time to feel like a part of the history that produced it. As I said yesterday, pictures hardly do this place justice. As I stood beneath the glorious canvass of the Sistine Chapel, I was overwhelmed with the beauty of it all. It was later in St Peter's Basilica that Michelangelo's Pieta caused me to pause and consider the cost of discipleship. We had a guide named Ann from Through Eternity Tours that did a fabulous job giving insight into the history of all we saw.
