A little while after getting back from 10 Day, our class was taken on a class trip to the Vatican Museum, which is full of some of the world's most famous paintings and sculptures: Raphael's School of Athens, The Discourse, and Transfiguration, Lacoon, the Sistene Chapel, and many other famous works. It was incredible seeing them in person.
The Sistene Chapel is was probably my favorite thing in the museums, although the School of Athens was equally cool. There's so much to see in the museum that it's completely overwhelming, however. I was lucky enough to be walking around with one of my friends who had been there a couple times in his life, so he knew his way around pretty well.
A week or so afterwards, I decided to go to Monte Casino over the last free weekend I had. It turned out to be an awesome decision. Monte Casino is so incredibly peaceful; I would probably be a saint too if I lived up there.
