After awhile one becomes caught up in the experience of the papal audience. People are chanting and surging forward. One can't help but start snapping pictures, sometimes of no one in particular except that I have a good view of the pope. Then he hops in his pope-mobile and drives by almost close enough to touch him. Following through with that last idea probably is not a good idea, given the level of security around the pope.
As a side note, after the audience I went into town to arrange a haircut. You can imagine me explaining what I want done to someone who doesn't speak any English, and my Italian is minimal. A very interesting, but somehow successful experience.
