Day 12 - The Pope and more
The Pope, Castel Sant'Angelo, the Tiber, and ruins!
Another full day:
June 12, 2005 in Rome and Vatican City
This morning we squeezed into St. Peter's Square to receive the Pope's blessing. This afternoon we went through Castel Sant'Angelo, as well as taking a long walk along the Tiber and eventually winding up seeing some Roman ruins. All this began at 10 a.m. and we were still back at the residence by 7 p.m., trying to figure out how to spend the rest of the evening.
You will notice there is a section for pictures of the Pope, as well as a video section. I want to note that this is the first time I have used the camera's video option. It turns out it picks up audio very well, but I need to practice holding my hand steadier (especially when zoomed in). Also, in some of the pictures, I used a lower pixel setting so that I could utilized the camera's digital zoom to get closer pictures of Benedict XIV. This means they may be a bit digitally blurry and the quality may be reduced, but rest assured that most photos are in the highest possible resolution.
This is yet another day I am happy and humbled to be able to share with you.
- Jay.
