Bwah haha! Rome... slightly intoxicated (but written earlier)

[superlate]

Next on our list of European must-sees was Roma. Rome’s an impressive place, crammed full of culture, religion and tourists. A healthy intolerance of other tourists is something to cultivate while you’re travelling. Lots of people make the age old choice for intolerance on the basis of race when deciding exactly which tourists one dislikes the most

Don't forget the gelati!! No-one should forget that.

So true. The sweet, sweet gelati

Pope-Mass does sound like an awesome experience! my grandparents must have been fore-thoughty years ago. they scored a pic of both of them meeting Pope John Paul II in the 80s sometime.

Crazy! Benedict isn't quite as cool as John Paul, but it was still pretty sweet. Crazy though

Wow, that sounds like an awesome experience. Ants and I are thinking of going to Rome over our Christmas break. I wonder what Christmas Mass would be like? I wonder if I'd get a chance to take communion - I'd be scared I'd go all that way, and they'd run out!

No problem with them running out but getting to the front of the unseated crowd might be a problem, and I imagine Christmas mass would be insanely spilling over with people. It was pretty full on when I was there (although was for a cannonisation mass, but that ain't no Christmas!)
