Lesson #56 Let's go see the Pope!

     Being in Italy, especially Rome, it seems only right to visit the Vatican. Whether you are religious or not, the Vatican is amazing and has the best postal service in Italy! Well, every Wednesday and Sunday the pope greets people at the Vatican with a special audience. On Wednesdays you need to reserve a free ticket for a seat and get to see the pope up close and personal from his pope-mobile! Yes, it is actually called that.
     And it looks like this:

     But, if you decide to just show up on Sunday, you get to see the Pope from his papal apartments. He just gives a short speech in Italian and then speaks to the crowd in a bunch of different languages. He starts with Italian, then French, then English, then German, and so on . . . In all, it takes about 45 mins to get to the Vatican, and 15 mins for the Papal audience. Even though it is only 15 mins, just the atmosphere of the crowd is fun! People come from all over the world with fliers and banners that show their love of the Pope and where they are from. On the occasional Sunday, he will even address the specific people there!
     I dunno if you can see the Pope in the picture below, but he is the size of a pin from the square as well, soooooo bring a camera with a really good zoom!

   
     Lesson #56: Spend a Sunday visiting the Pope! And try to recognize as many languages you can!
