Our daytoday stated at 8 am. We walked our way out to the taxi stop instead of walkingto the Vatican or takings the bus. We would be seeing the Pope today, therepresentative of God here on earth for Roman Catholics. Our merits were wellpaid off as we had sets in the main ail and right on the edge.
The event would start at ten thirty so as we waited we accumulated avariety of emotions. I was with Arlene, Blanca, Jessica, Veronica, and Caesar.There were emotions of excitement, disbelieve, amazement, as well ascarelessness all in one. For me, I just wanted to sing and wished I could besharing this moment with my loved ones but at the same time felt grateful forexperiencing this on my own. The time was getting closer and people were gettinga bit more anxious. A woman next to where we were sitting started shouting atanother person in a language I didn't understand. The guards did walk up to herand very calmly signaled her to be calm. This was the only unpleasant momentand the fact that the ladies behind us didn't let us open our umbrellas. Finally, the moment I never imagined or even thoughtabout was taking place. Everyone went crazy with their cameras, as if they allhad a special someone they wanted to take this moment back to whether it be forfaith or simply touristic reasons.
We had twospecial moments as the Pope made his way across to the other side and the backthrough the central ail. My moment of moments was when the Pope blessed us.I am a true catholic that enjoys going to mass every day, praying, and praising God. I felt this moment as a true gift from God.
