Popemobile, Florence, and tacos!
... greeted Christendom college by name, along with other groups in the massive crowd. The plan was for us all to shout "Viva La Papa!" in unison but when the time came we all got too excited so we just yelled. Silly kids. I also got to see the Pope today at the canonization of Kateri Tekakwitha and six other saints. On both occasions I had a front row view when the Popemobile rolled by! =) ...

Now that I'm almost done with Spain, France, and Italy, I'm thinking about how much I'm going to miss the constant affection these countries are so well known for. On the walk home from the Vatican, we passed a restaurant with a waiter standing outside to draw people in. I thought he was going to ask us to come eat, so I had already prepared the response, "Maybe later," but then he said, "Excuse me, ladies. ...
