Hubby & I took his sister to Italy in 2001, and while we were waiting for our tour to begin in Vatican City, the Pope came whizzing through the crowd in his bullet-proof Pope-Mobile for his Wednesday audience in St. Peter's Square. We were pretty far away, so all I have are pictures of the big screen that was broadcasting his movements, but it was still pretty cool. Even for a half-Jewish atheist. And as he's the only Pope I've ever known to exist, his imminent passing is a moment I'm not likely to forget.
