Today was the highlight of the trip, the Papal audience. We left at 6:45 in hopes of breeding the crowd, but there were hundreds there when we arrived. W were still able to get great seats and we're within feet of Pope Francis when he went by. It was great to see and hear Pope Francis in person. He is such a genuine person and I heard many students talking about how he looks so happy and truly caring.
We visited the other two main basilicas in Rome (Saint Paul Outside the Walls & Saying John in Lateran) during the afternoon, as well as the Spanish Steps.
The Wi-Fi has not been cooperating, but I will continue to try and upload pictures.
We are off to Assisi and Florence tomorrow.
