re: #656 Claire

You can go in the Vatican, you’re welcome there- nobody minds. In fact, if you are in Rome, please DO go, it’s beyond amazing for lots of different reasons- it would be a shame if you missed it.

It is amazing. I would love to see the Cistine Chapel in particular. The reason I would not go is not because I am forbidden to see it, but because I respect it as your place, just as I respect the Kotel as mine. That does not mean you are not welcome at the Kotel either. I am NOT saying that. By all means you are. I personally would just feel uncomfortable because I frankly don’t feel that I belong there.
