    • Every time I am in Rome (admittedly only twice so far) I see lots of weddings or photos being taken of weddings or wedding dresses... It's a beautiful roman-tic thing to do in Rome. My first/only visit to the Pope's Wednesday Mass - just before Mass we saw a couple in full wedding dress running to St. Peter's. It brought a tear to my eye - their life together will be blessed by the Pope.

    I can say this for sure - my wedding dress will be from Rome if not my actual wedding. Enjoy some of the photos...

    (NB I will have to fill in the other photos later, I can't find them on my computer right now)

    • OK, I only saw him once - along with 1000s of other pilgrims all straining for a glimpse.

    Each Wednesday morning (as long as the Pope is in town) he has mass in St. Peter's - if you can secure tickets for an "audience" you are all set. They are free but you have to ask for them.

    We showed up early, I bought a beautiful rosary for my Gramma and we waited along with all the other folks to see him.

    thank goodness for digital cameras, at least I could take a picture with the digital display in the back - otherwise it would have been of the ceiling!
