Identify the name of the movie this quote came from: 'I am Michelangelo. You're the Sistine Chapel.'

That's right ladies and gentlemen...Vatican City! We have also figured out the public transportation system here - that deserves a big ole 'hallelujah'!!! While we still walk miles each day, we can now glisten less in this 85-90 degree heat :) Please note our trademark ponytail hairdos and glowing faces in almost every picture - it's the new European fashion, didn't you know?
This was the gorgeous view after climbing the cupola (dome) in St. Peter's Basilica. See later picture to get a sense of our hike to the top.

St. Peter's Basilica - this church covers approximately 6 acres on the inside! There are many smaller chapels within this main church. It has a capacity of 60,000 standing worshippers. Multiple masses are held throughout the day.

This is from inside the Sistine Chapel. Not a very clear photo, but these are contraband! The colors and detail were incredible, and we learned that Michelangelo was essentially forced to spend 4 years painting this. It is also the location where 115 Cardinals gather and cannot leave until they all agree on who should be the next pope. White smoke rising from the Sistine Chapel's chimney signals this agreement - many Italians and pilgrims flock to St. Peter's Square when this happens.

View from the cupola. This is St. Peter's Square.

We hiked 323 steps to the top of the cupola (fancy name for the dome of St. Peter's Basilica). It was a winding staircase that was very narrow and hot. However, the views were well worth it!
