Thursday

I saw the Pope! Or at least the back of him as he drove past in literally 2 seconds. I can’t say I am not disappointed because I waited 3 hours to be able to see him from the front row but he didn’t even stay long enough for me to get a picture of him. View the slide show for the picture I did get of the back of hie head in the black surroundings of night (because he was late). But what is most disappointing is that I didn’t get to see the Pope’s interaction with people. Other than this the day was very electric with anticipation. The pilgrims who were able to attend the Pope’s mass were the lucky ones. Now I am off to the youth festivals to see more live music with a crowd who can only be described as invigorating.
