Karen, we did have a guide for the Vatican Museum. She made us break in line. I was so embarrassed. The people behind us kept saying, "you broke in line." I looked straight ahead and ignored them. Not a proud moment.

The one thing I remember from the Sistine Chapel: it's sooooo crowded, very hard to see. This is one place where a money belt comes in handy. Our guide kept reminding us to watch our personal belongings, perfect place for a pickpocket.

I loved St. Peter's Basilica, it's amazing!
