I just seem to remember a lot of flip flop / sandal wearing tourists about.Just remembered this one: NO sketches of artwork are allowed without permission of The Vatican. Oh, and no scissors, blades, or alcohol permitted. Weird that i'd remember some of these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narps Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Must be a "me" problem but this whole visit is boring me to tears. Getting in some quality HGTV time though. I used to watch the channel way to much but have gotten away from it for the most part in recent months. Like reuniting with an old friend... :dweez: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken hawk Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Why is the POPE here? Political Peace? World Peace? Is he greater than a US president ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Why is the POPE here? Political Peace? World Peace? Is he greater than a US president ? It's always a big deal when the Pope travels outside the Vatican. I'm not Catholic, but evidently about one out of every seven people on Earth is (and that's not an exaggeration). So yes...wherever the Pope goes, it's a historic event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My threshold for boredom is very low. I am a spiritual person but being bored to death I will pass on. There are many who may find these services, speeches and driving through the streets inspiring or something, I just happen not to be one of them. Nothing against the religion, Catholicism or anything else but its just not my thing... :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
