On Saturday, May 10th, I left my host town, Torre Annunziata, for Rome at 9:00 am. I went with other students from the 4 schools in Torre. From my class, there was Anna, Martina, Elisabetta, and me. We arrived in Rome around 12:30 pm. We got to the Vatican and ate our sandwiches quickly because we needed to get a good spot. Already at 12:30, there were many people. On top of that it began to become extremely hot. My classmates and I tried our best to get good spots and we did. We were about 3 feet from the railing. We had to wait a long time to see the pope. There were people singing for the kids but not everyone was interested because it was so hot.
Anyway, then the moment came. The pope came out in his "Pope Mobile" and started greeting people and kissing the babies. He finally got to us and I got one picture that wasn't very good but when he passed the second time I got a video. Also I gently threw a rotary banner, which made it in the pope mobile!!!
My classmates and me.
The bad first photo.
The good photo of 'Papa Francesco'
*Fun fact - The pope is a Rotarian*
