It is always a challenge to tour with 30-35 travelers. Here we are in the Roman sculpture museum at the Vatican. I have my microphone and normally it makes a huge difference. I only say that because in theory the students are listening to me talk about Phillipus the Arab and the late Roman Empire. The collection is vast and very hard to see just because there is so much. I have always speculated that if a handful of these sculptures could come to Mankato, they would make a bigger difference to the lives of the students just because there would be nothing else to compare. They would not get lost in the crowd.
Besides the crowds here, you fight hunger, fatigue, and cultural overload. We had already seen, the Sistine Chapel, Raphael's frescos and the Painting museum. We still had many more things to see.
