Today was Vatican Friday!! First we went to the scavi which are the excavations of the necropolis underneath the St. Peter Basilica. Next we went up to the basilica which was gorgeous! Rhi, Hannah and I learned what the four pillars of the rellics where all about next we went to the Vatican museum is in with the Sistine Chapel which was breath taking. The school of Athens was one of the most beautiful and intricate paintings we saw today. It was painted by Raphael during the Renaissance. We only have two more days in Rome! It is hard to believe that the three weeks have gone by so fast! See all of you soon!
