St. Peter's Basilica as seen from a window inside the Vatican Museums.		Grounds of the Vatican Museums.
The Gallery of Maps (inside the Vatican Museums). This was actually my favorite part of the museums, even more so than the Sistine Chapel.	Detail of the ceiling in the Gallery of Maps.
	This gives you an idea of the crowds inside the Vatican Museums. It was like this the entire way. We had maybe an hour's wait to get into the museum, and we got in line about 45 minutes before it opened. On a weekday.	More ceiling details.
	A small detail of one of the maps. I loved the maps.
