General Audience with Pope Benedict XVI

Wed 18 Feb 2009:  Pope Benedict arrives for the general audience in St Peter's Square
When we had previously attended general audiences - once with Pope John Paul II and twice with Pope Benedict XVI - they were held indoors in the Pope Paul VI audience hall.  The audience we attended on Wednesday 18 February 2009 was outdoors in St Peter's Square.  It was the last time we were present at a general audience.

18 Feb 2009:  Still waiting....
It turned quite cold in the afternoon as we continued our sight seeing, visiting among other places the Trevi fountain and the Pantheon.
