Before heading to the airport, I dashed to church to say Mass.
Campo de’ Fiori as the stands are being set up.
After Mass, again it’s a pleasure to see the altars being used. They are not, after all, just decorations or left overs.
Waiting for my ride I had to have a little pizza bianca and mortadella.
I could have used a couple more days to do what I needed to get done but… I have to return in January. Beh.
UPDATE:
And now…
The priority check in process went like lightning until I got to the Fast Track security part. It was completely absurd. As the regular X-ray lines went smoothly and quickly it took 20 minutes to do 4 people. It was rather like that last time too. Note to self: Go to the regular X-ray line at Terminal 5. Sheesh.
UPDATE
Back in these USA, in Atlanta, I opted for a Burger a Boardwalk in Concourse A.
Was in Rome mid August. Had mass at the fraternity church feast of the assumption. No altar servers, no choir , Church needs to be water blasted rather sad
The security guys took a look at your cassock and smelled trouble. :P
May the holy angels guide you and keep you safe.
Terminal 5 is faster…
Have a safe trip home, Father.
Mortadella con pistacchio!!!!
Thank you for all of your photos, Fr Z. They bring back great memories of my own two trips to Rome.
Welcome home, Father.
Campo de’ Fiori
That perfectly timed pic is so like a great painting found in the world’s finest museums. Any impressionist would love to paint it.
