The popemobile traveled slowly stopping many times along the route. And one stop was right in front of our hotel. Upon his arrival to the stage, we settled in to participate in the Stations. While we watched the enactment at two stations in front of our hotel, our attention was quickly switched to the television on our balcony. There we participated with the television and our radios for translations.
