Rome is very spread out kind of like LA. Today Chris and I got up extremely early (8am - I know) and headed to the Vatican to see Pope Francis. Right when we got there it started to downpour! We bought these cheap ponchos - and got ripped for the tourist price of €5 each - whatever. There were thousands of people standing in St. Peter's Square waiting for a blessing from the Pope. It was so great to be a part of.
The Pope came out of the 2nd window from the right
St. Peter's Square
Papa Francesco came out and spoke (in Italian) for about 15 minutes then blessed the crowd, and the crowd went wild!
Then we went to the top of St. Peter's basilica - guess how many stairs? At least in this one there was a separate path going up and down. Praise God!
