The
Pope is in town. This mighty man of God
has caused quite a stirring in Mexico City.
El Papa (not to be confused with la papa which is a potato), has
received quite a reception. The traffic
has been a nightmare however.
As
we drove home on Friday afternoon, the city was preparing. Literally there were thousands of policemen
lining the freeway home. Had we left any
later, we would not have made it. We
drove home 3 hours before El Papa landed, but the police had started to line to
freeway from early morning. Little did
we know that the freeway they were using to transport El Papa would be the same
one that got us to and from our office.
Monday
morning El Papa flies to another place in Mexico. We have two missionaries flying home that
day, just about the same time. We are
thinking that we should arrive at the airport around 4:30 AM for the 9 AM
flights. On Wednesday, El Papa flies
back to the Vatican with his final goodbye to Mexico City. Unfortunately we have 3 missionaries flying
home that day also. Airport trips this
week should be quite the adventure!
Welcome
to Mexico City El Papa!
