I got within 2 feet of the POPE today!

It was AWESOME!!! My friend Frank froze. He had no idea what to say and all he could think to say was, "Hey pope, how's it goin'?" The Pope handled it well and just waved at him and smiled. About 4 people caught it on video. We had front row seats and it was incredible. We had to wake up at 5:40 to be on the bus at 6:30 to leave and it was well worth it. We finally got to see him at 10:30! I have pretty much been walking on air all day because of this. I got a bunch of stuff blessed and my friend Frank got an Ohio state flag blessed, weirdo....it's not even a cool state, like Kansas.
After the awesomeness that was this morning we went across the street to a seminary where we have a friend who is studying there. We took him out for gelato and we walked around town until he had to leave for class. After he departed we went to Old Roma, not Ancient Roma, just old, and walked around. It's really different from the historical part so it was great to see. After this we were just exhausted because it was 6 at night and we just wanted to collapse so we head back and we are concluding our night in our comfortable beds.
Below are a bunch of pictures from the last few days:

This is a picture I took it is not zoomed in, I was just this close:

A little Italian boy couldn't see so I put him on my back



I stole this hat from a little Italian girl, don't worry she took it back

Me in front of the Vatican

Some of us know how to take good pictures

Eatting gelato from the best place ever, it's about 3 blocks away from the Vatican. That is our friend Colm who is studying to be a priest
