August 20, 2008: Morning with the Pope

  The Pope was away from the Vatican today…he was at his summer residence – Castle Gandolfo.  So we drove out there to see him.  We arrived three hours early.  Had a great spot though, once he arrived for his morning "talk" and prayer.

  Here are a few photographs that I took…

  Afterwards we went out to eat.  Nice view of the volcano…filled with water now.
