Sistine Chapel

A wonderful moving experience.

I WILL get to see the Sistine Chapel! ONE DAY. ONE DAY. Lol.

This stop landed smack in the middle of our two week Italy trip. It touched me in such a personal way I came back home, drew an abstract based on the ceiling, and had it tattooed on my left arm. It reminds me of love and beauty and life and adventure…

I wanted SO BAD to take a picture, but they warn you not to because they can and will take away your camera. Even with the Sistine Chapel crowded, everyone was very quiet and courteous. Our guide(I love tour guides because you always get the back story and history) told us that the Chapel was meant to be seen through the door that the pope entered through, which is on the opposite side from which you enter, if I remember correctly. There are these huge doors and if you stand there and look up it’s absolutely amazing. I stood there for a long time and just stared.

i had been traveling through europe w/a friend of mine for a month or so and i drug him to so many museums and when we went in there my breath was taken away but he actually started crying- i was so glad to finally see my friend moved by art- what an amazing place!
