This morning while I was reading we heard what sounded like a marching
band. So Mom and I went out in the rain to investigate. We headed towards
St. Peter's Basilica chasing the band. Upon arrival we found the square
full of huge lines and seas of umbrellas,speakers and TV screens for
people to see better. The band was a troop of Swiss Guards and Army Guys
carrying sub-machine guns. Once we went through security screening
andwere in the piazza in front of the church we waited for maybe 30
minutes before the Pope showed up to say Easter mass. He looked great in
his big tall hat that is twice the size of his head and his huge
spectacles! There were masses of people and a choir that sang
beautifully. But it kept raining. By the time we decided to leave we were
soaked. But it was a great experience!
Until next time folks! This is Erich reporting live from the Rome
apartment.
