Today, we started out at the Vatican. Wow. Seriously. The Sistine Chapel is b-r-e-a-t-h-t-a-k-i-n-g!!!!! The ceiling and the Last Judgment...man, too bad you cannot take any pictures. It was kind of funny because the guards were telling all the people in english not to take pictures. Guess it is all the stupid Americans...(I totally tried to sneak a picture and one turned out blurry and the next resulted in a chew-out from the guard!) The church was amazing too and just the whole area. We then took a high speed train to Florence, which provided pretty scenery on our way. I tried to take pictures and I will post one, but there will be a glare since it was taken through a window going at high speed! Then, Kathy and I walked around the Florence neighborhood a bit, and joined with Jacques for an Italian dinner at the hotel. This hotel is not as elegant, but is soooo worth it for the location. We are right in the heart of Florence. AMAZING! We are set to go see an art presentation tomorrow, David, a walking tour, Pisa, and more! Thanks for all the comments. I love reading them! Ciao!

I'm shocked you tried to get around the guard and snap a picture, but I like seeing it on your blog!
Love you!
Man I cannot believe I missed your call today!! I was totally at work...surprise, surprise. Do try and call at night its true that that is when I will most likely answer!
I found that the best way to take a sneeky picture is to fake a yawn with your camera/phone in hand, it takes some practice on when to click the shot!
Steph the rebel....that sounds like such an oxymoron! How sad is it that our own father is giving advice to you on how to break the rules! Good luck next time you try to sneak an illegal shot! :)
