We saw the Pope!

On our way back home, we had a couple of days of canceled flights in Lisbon due to the ash cloud. We were aware that the Pope was in town, but didn't know exactly where he would be. Anyways, we had just woken up from a much needed afternoon nap and Scott turned on the TV. There was lots of news coverage about the Pope and he was about to get in his Pope-mobile. Then it showed a shot of the street he was going to be going down. Scott looked at me and said, "Hey, I think that is our bus stop!" which was only a block away from our hotel. So we put our shoes on, ran down the street, and sure enough the streets were lined with people waiting on the Pope to drive by. Within two minutes of being there here he came in his little glass car. Pretty cool that we got to see him! We can now check that off of our list of things to do (not that it was really ever on it).
