This morning we went to see the pope (!!). I was surprised at how thrilling it was. We were able to sit down, which was nice. The “pope-mobile” came out and drove around. Pope Leo loves to bless babies. :) You see that pope-mobile on TV, you know, and being right there watching it is pretty amazing. They speak greetings in many languages. I recorded it when he spoke in English.

Later in the afternoon we went to the Galleria Borghese. A beautiful gallery! So many artists. It helped I knew a little bit of mythology, and a lot of the Biblical stories.
