We take the Pendolino (fast train) back to Rome.  Time to see the Vatican Museum.  The wait in line was about 45 minutes - though it looked like about 3 hours when we arrived. I have no idea what this is - we could see this from an open window into the courtyard, but never walked by it. The hall of maps. The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.  While the ceiling is great, the room itself is small.  Just a "little box" really - especially when you compare to the size and scale of St. Peter's Basilica nearby. Michelangelo's Pieta in St. Peter's.  His work on this (at age 24) is beautifully described in The Agony and the Ecstasy (from which I read sections when I could not sleep at night). There must be some two dozen niches like this in St. Peter's.  Each with a 20 foot high statue of a pope.  The scale is one of the most awesome things I've seen on the trip. We scale dome of St Peter's for a view of Rome and the gardens in Vatican City. St. Peter's Square. The descent.  As you reach the cupola, the stairway walls slope toward the center of the dome; you have to lean against the wall while stair climbing. A tiny little car we pass as we look for a place to eat dinner. The Trevi fountain at night.  The stone is carved to simulate an outcropping of rock teaming with animals (and gods) right in the middle of the city. Bright and early, the next day, we fly over the Arctic back home.   Great trip!
