september 25th - pope eve

We went for a walk around town this morning to see how close we could get to the pope perimeter before being taken down by sniper fire.  It is absolutely insane the amount of police presence, preparation, and barricading that is happening. Even south street is roped off and has national guard on every corner...creepy. 

Alex rode his bike for miles and was so excited to be able to use the street. Gemma pointed out every port-a-potty...and there are thousands. It will be interesting to see how the city is when this damn pope is actually in town.
