Faxing the Vatican

Today I faxed the Vatican to set up a tour for a group of WHM people. Dan & Bob are taking a few potential missionaries to a few of our fields in the next two weeks. They will be visiting our team in Rome and hope to visit the Vatican while they’re there. One of my jobs as the MOB Administrator is to set up the tour for the six of them. The way the Vatican works is you have to fax your information to them and wait for their response. I just think it’s crazy that I can say, “well, I faxed the Vatican today.”

The group is going to take the tour that will allow them to see the Sistine Chapel. Taken from Wikipedia: "The Sistine Chapel (Italian: Cappella Sistina) is a chapel in the Apostolic Palace, the official residence of the Pope, in the Vatican City. Its fame rests on its architecture, which evokes Solomon's Temple of the Old Testament, its decoration, frescoed throughout by the greatest Renaissance artists, including Michelangelo whose ceiling is legendary, and its purpose, as a site of papal religious and functionary activity, notably the conclave, at which a new Pope is selected." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sistine_Chapel

The office is quiet today. The glaring florescent lights are off and Matthew and I have our living room, Ikea lights on. It's real nice.
