is it VatiCAN or VatiCAN'T

Today we woke up nice and early and stood inline in horrible heat for the vatican museums. We sweated a lot and people smelled really bad but it was worth it. The collections are amazing, we even rented and audio tour so that we would know what we were looking at. The sistine chapel is unbeleivably beautiful and calming (of course there are armed guards making sure you stay quiet) and no words could describe how amazing it really is. After the museums we headed over to St Peters. The lines were much shorter and again the inside was amazing. The climb to the top was quite an exercise but again well worth the hard work. We've sweated out most of the "american" breakfast that we ate and ended up at an airconditioned pizza place where we had some antipasta, pizza and espresso. Now its time for a well deserved nap.
