i got to see the pope! it was really quite fun. though, i don't much care for some of the positions he takes, it was still very cool to get to see the pope motorcade. i found myself waving to him and then thinking, "why am i waving at the pope? i don't follow anything he says." i suppose it just seemed like the right thing to do.
anneka and i (i made anneka come with me) were interviewed by a ny Times reporter. i looked her up, turns out she wrote a nice little piece on our churchwide assembly, with pictures of the rainbow stoles. a strange and small world it is.
she was a little baffled by a female, lutheran seminarian coming to see the pope. as in, "why do you care?" it was fun.
and i got pictures! and kitsch...a flag with the pope on it. it was a great day. and it was gorgeous out. perfect temperature. so i was quite happy when i went back to church.
tomorrow the traffic is going to be BAD. and i live near the nationals stadium. i really want one of the mass passes for the metro. sigh. i can't have all the kitsch i want.
it was a good day in DC.
