The day we were going to visit the Sistine Chapel, I was dressed in a skirt and sleeveless shirt and my friend had on ripped jeans and a concert T-shirt. Yes, we were an odd pair, but we have been since being some children. Anyhow, I was stopped and not let in because my shoulders were bare. Once I put on a jean jacket, they let me in. I understand the no shoulder thing, but really, I was dressed nicely with a conservative no sleeve shirt (it was damn hot that day) and my friend was dressed like a slob (no disrespect as I love her dearly). Does that make sense?
I think the answer to the Sistine Chapel thing is, as we say here, people are wicked bizaah. E. g. there was no rhyme or reason there.
I'm sure you looked beautiful - do you have a scanned photo you can upload? Would love to see. :-D
