We were able to get tickets to attend a papal audience during our trip. The pope speaks to thousands in St. Peter's square most Wednesday mornings at 10:30. We arrived at 8 am in order to get a good seat and our early arisal was well worth it. We sat in the third row and had a great view of his holiness. The pope was very impressive. He spoke of his recent trip to Africa and addressed the crowd in 5 languages! We lucked out with the weather. It started pooring about 5 minutes after the end of the audience. It would have been a struggle being in St. Peter's square
with thousands of people trying to pull out their umbrellas. Since it was raining out we decided to eat a large meal for lunch and headed to a trattoria near our hotel. Brian had his first piece of lasgna. It was creamier than american lasgna. No riccotta cheese and less tomato sauce. Very good, but different than what we were expecting.
