Habemus Papum!!!

This morning we rushed around eating breakfast and getting dressed. We drove in rush hour traffic to park. We hopped on what we hoped was the right bus. We arrived where we wanted to be an hour ahead of time. And waited... Until we saw Pope Benedict XVI, just feet from us!!!!
And in the next second he was gone! So:

Round-trip bus rides...$6

Time to Wait...60 minutes

Distance Walked...2 miles

Amount of time to view Pope...1 second

Once-in-a-lifetime View of Pope Benedict XVI... Priceless!
