Rome

Nancy and I made it to Rome this afternoon after a 3-hour train ride through beautiful Italian countryside. After checking in to our hotel, we walked around and came across a massive old church and all the roads around it were blocked off. Turns out there was a procession from the Vatican where the pope had given a special corpus christi day mass to this church we found. We ended up standing there for more than 2 hours, saw a million nuns go by, and then we saw the pope! He gave a blessing in Latin or Italian. Very cool to see!
