One of our last shots before the Sistine Chapel. As I mentioned earlier, the Sistine Chapel is the one place in the museum where they strictly enforce no photography. We were not allowed in until Chris' camera went into my purse (they don't give you any warning on this, so we had to carry a ton of stuff that was in my purse around, because it wouldn't all fit). The guards also demand silence from the crowd as you make your way through. I only wish they were as strict with their "no flash" policy in the rest of the museum. If I had a dime for every idiot that left their flash on, I could buy the Vatican museum. I wish I could explain how flashes destroy the paint in 7 different languages, because I would have.
