I went to St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City this morning. Each Wednesday and Sunday morning there is a papal audience where Pope Francis blesses the masses. He is certainly a Pope for the people and seems to be very well-liked. He rode through the crowd on the Pope-mobile for about 45 minutes before the blessing, waving and shaking hands. He also got out and walked a bit, hugging those close by. They estimated 50,000 people were there today. I was only able to catch glimpses of him through the crowds as he drove through and didn't get very close. I snapped a few pictures but only got the back of his head. I'm glad I went. I was quite impressed with him.
Very cool! Is that the Pope speaking, blessing the people?
