If all goes as planned, this is where we'll be next Christmas. :)

And wonder why there are so many people there...and they are all turned looking in the same direction. So I turn too, and in the Pope's residence a window is open, so I look at my watch, and it is about 3 minutes to noon. So me and my friend wait, and sure enough, at noon the pope appears at the window, and held a speech/mass...it was December 8th, I guess a religious holiday having something to do with the Virgin Mary (sorry, this is you agnostic friend writing here). Anyways...that was pretty darned cool. And I can imagine it would be incredible at Christmas!
