Yesterday Bev was joking about the pontiff peeing off Ponte Vecchio in
Firenze. Well today in Rome we did it all. We started with a 45 minute
walk to the Vatican and grabbed a cache right there. see the basilica
in the background? That's the Vatican's primary church.
Then the Pope came out and gave a prayer in about 15 different
languages. You can see him waaay up in the window. The people
completely filled the square. It was wonderful. I even got some video.
We went into the basilica and spent some time attending the mass that
was going on. The temp was cool and felt very relaxing (zzzzzz).
On the way out Cam Switzer got a photo of the Varican special guard:
the Switzers (from Switzerland).
Seeing the Vatican AND the pope (and getting a cache too) was almost
too much for my pea brain!
Beautiful !!
