The truly amazing thing about this place is the size of things. St. Peters is indescribably large. Now I have never been to Mecca and seen the huge mosque in all the pictures from there, but I have gone to a football game or two at Michigan and we have a pretty big stadium there. However, it just does not feel so incredibly large as the basillica.
All the docents here are incredibly freindly and a few ask questions about English idoms such as "You have done what?"
"I said 'change my mind' "
"Yes! This is to make a different idea?" etc.
And the Sistene Chapel really is cool, the cielings throughout the Vatican are a bit fancier than any I have at home, but this really blows them away. Truly, a wonderful sight.
A final note, When Robin Williams's character asks Will Hunting what the Sistene Chapel smells like, the answer is pepermint and swiss cheese. Kidding... or am I
