These past few days in Rome have been action packed. Today some highlights were our visit to the catacombs of San Callisto and the Vatican City. There are so many amazing original articles in the Vatican Museum, the eye doesn't know where to rest. Also all the walls and floors and ceilings are so ornate that everywhere you look, it's awe inspiring. As for the Sistine Chapel, there are no words. Too bad photos are not permitted! But you should totally go visit it and experience it for yourself.

The Oracle at Delphi
Yesterday We arrived for a later dinner and to check into our hotel in Delphi. The next morning we visited the museum and archaeological site. The museum showcased the evolution of ancient art from simplistic forms to perfection as defined by humanism. I was amazed at the precision, especially in the latter works, which include fine details such as eyelashes and tendons.
Like all the other locations we have visited, the views are breathtaking. I could never get tired of looking out the window if I lived here. On top of that, the food is delicious and the people are extremely warm and hospitable.
