Into another country

We started the day off by getting a hotchocolate from the cafe on the corner. I must say it was the best so far.  You need a spoon to eat it. I will be getting another one tomorrow morning. I finished first so I left the money with Shauna and went back to our place.  There was no way I was going out without. Sun glasses again. Yesterday was very hard on the eyes.
We got on the subway got in town and one of the busses was waiting so that was great. We took the bus to the Vadican. We wanted to go there first because the line was so long yesterday. The line was just as long as we drove buy it today. As we got off the bus there was a woman there offering tours of the Vadican so we stopped to here what she had to say because we had good luck in nyc with buying the tickets early.
With the tour group you got 45min on history in the court yard. I did not know that vadican city was its own country. The richest in the world. We got to skip the 2-5hr line up. Head sets to here her plus a tour guide through the entire place. And you are not allowed to go backwards so if u miss the turn to the next museum to bad. So the guide kept u going in the right direction.
She got us to drink out of a fountain to taste how clean the water was. I am now a roman Catholic lol. We then moved into the very beautiful courtyards after walk for at least 15 min to a side entrance.  From the courtyards we went into a statue museum it was very interesting but we went to fast and did not get to look at half the stuff she did show us a statue of vinus the goddess of love I said a prayer for my love life. It could not hurt.
There was a museum of tapestry and there was one that it looked like Jeuse eys were following you. And there was a table that would change from left to right. It was very odd.
We got to see the chaple where the cardinals will be locked in to select the next pope. The room was amazing the thing I do not get is there are no talking signs and no photo taking and peoplewere talking at a normal level and taking pictures then when a gaurd aproched them the said they did not know. How u could miss all the signs I don't know. People can be very aaragent.
You were able to send postcards from there so that was very neat. We went into the church part we did not go up in the dome it was over 500 steeps. We got to see the mummy of one of the cardinal that they have in glass to show why he is a saint because the body has not decayed past bones and he is very old.
We touched the feet of a saints statue and they were so smoth from people touching them so much over the years.
It was a very powerful place. I am excited to go back and get our invitation to see the pope for his last aduadiance on the 27. Very exciting.
