Pope

The faithful say that even if you catch a glimpse of the Pope then it is like being blessed by him. So with Minnie in tow, we headed up Fifth Avenue on Saturday afternoon to try and catch a glimpse. The Pope was on his way from Mass at St. Patick's to the Vatican residence in Manhattan. And where does the Pope stay while in New York? On the Upper East Side of course!!!

Security was everywhere. My tote bag was checked and Secret Service was all over the place making sure that every window was closed. The scene was quite pleasant-everyone was in a good mood, singing and playing music to pass the time.

Then the motorcade came. A ton of NYPD on motorcycles, vans, cars, limos until finally, there it was. The Popemobile!

Minnie and I are very, very blessed...
