Yesterday, despite threatening rain and cold winds, we waited about 3 hours for the Pope. It was really great to see him and the kids were excited too. I got a few good pictures, which I will be uploading shortly. I don't have the best internet connection here.
We are staying at a Catholic guest house just on the outskirts of Rome where we have a 2 room apartment and three meals a day. I have to say, Italian food is excellent, but it is just too much. For dinner, there is always a pasta course (called "first") and for the "second", there is usually a meat, a vegetable and a salad. Usually wine is served with dinner. And fruit for dessert, and of course coffee or cappucino. The meal times are different, too. Lunch is served around 1pm and lasts at least 30 minutes, and dinner is usually served around 8pm.
