Vatican City Bambino!

Today is ode to Pope day and we have made our annual contribution to one of the richest countries in the world...Vatican City. We have our tickets and our allotted time to visit, buy tickets online ahead or you will wait in line with every catholic who has come to make a pilgrimage.
The Sistine Chapel has been on my bucket list ever since my first art history class at OCCC. My instructor told a story how she "got in" after hours and laid on her back. Last night I was looking for a way in, Andrea was quick to veto that idea. I told her if I get caught I get to see the vatican jail and that's not on any tour.
later on:
I DID IT on my back in the Sistine chapel. Done. Some how we got in the line for strollers and wheelchair access for the chapel (this is Andrea now and I must interject a story about this line...as with everything in life Karma big and in this case small had to be paid for the fact that we did "knowingly " go in the back way and glommed onto some old ladies wheelchair as if she was our grandma and we were helping her in. However, in the line right in front of Ashley was a mom abd young child, mom put her baby on her shoulders and bam...baby ass crack, therefore Ashley did "sneak" in the Sistine Chapel but she did have that at eye level for a good 10 minutes) so we got in very quickly.
Note: the photo with the line is the line we should have been in.
