THE WEATHER HAS BEEN GREAT THE FIRST TWO DAYS OF COURSE. LOTS OF SUNSHINE WHICH IS MY FAV! AND LETS SEE.....LOTS OF WALKING! WALKED TO THE VATICAN WHICH WAS THE MOST AMAZING THING ON EARTH. AND MY SLOW WALKING IN THE HUGE BOOTS LED A FEW OF US TO RUN INTO POPE BENEDICT THE SIXTEETH ACCIDENTLY! YEAH GUYS HE WAS DRIVING OUT OF HIS QUARTERS TO SAY A PRIVATE MASS AND WE RAN INTO HIM DRIVING....TOTALLY UNBELIEVABLE. FIVE FEET FROM THE POPE - AWESOME! THEN ST. PETERS IS JUST BREATHTAKING. ITS SO BEAUTIFUL AND HISTORICAL! I LOVE BEING CATHOLIC! I CAN BLOG JUST ON THIS BUT I WILL STOP FOR NOW HAHA. LOTS OF PICTURES AND STUFF. I GOT TO STAY FOR MASS IN ST. PETERS. THEN THE POPE AGAIN. I WAS THE ONLY AMERICAN CHEERING FOR THE US! HAHAHAHA. SOME MORE WALKING. CHURCH TOURS --- CANT BELIEVE EVERY CHURCH IS SO BEAUTIFUL HERE! BUT MY BOOTS MADE MY FEET HURT LIKE WHOAH.
