Viva La Popa

Alright, so the Wednesday that my parents were here we had our priest set up a meeting with the pope. After la popa drove around in his Popa mobila, he sat down and read to everyone in six languages and blessed everybody.

Then we got to go on a tour of the Vatican.

Be aware these pictures are not mine, I forgot to charge my camera, but thank the Pope for Heidi and her handy cam, cuz now I have pictures to show all of you.

Me and the rents outside the Vatican.
Michealangelo's "La Pieta." The ribbon draped across Mary's garments says "Michealangelo did this" or something like that. This sculpture was not signed at first so a lot of people took credit for it until Michealangelo grew tired of people taking credit for his work and so he signed it. It is the only piece he ever signed. 
Cool statue.
Here is the Pope Giving a shout out to his peeps.
La Papa, La Popa, The Pope, the big man, the big cheese, the head of the Christian church, the guy who is not wearing the cool hat that usually comes with the job.

Yea, totally got blessed by the Pope.

It was a fun trip with the parents, we had a good time. This was one of the last days they were here. After that they took off to London town.
