In person, the Sistine Chapel is immense and overwhelming and beautiful and scary. Like god would be, I imagine.

Frankly, you were lucky to see anything. When I got there, the place was overcrowded and the weather made the place only dimly lit. It did seem to be beautiful though, but I can't certify to this.

Frankly, you were lucky to go at all. Just thinking of the price of the airplane, being allowed to walk in the airport, the taxi to hotel, the hotel itself, basic amenities, food, wine and a journey to the chapel itself where I am told half way I am actually in Milan and the chapel is located in some other god forsaken city... the cost buggles my mind. Shocked

Cheapest dingy joint by the station.

Were very cheap in those days, provided you didn't go for the fancy restaurants.

By foot, man.

My favorite is hands down The Voyage of Life series by Thomas Cole.



It depicts an infant/teen/man/senior adrift on the "river of life" and being overseen by a guardian angel who slowly departs from him, leaving him alone to face the trials and tribulations of life on his own, until finally in the end painting he reaches the "destination".
