Saturday — Pope's funeral and Colleseum

Snacked in room while watching funeral on TV. (9:30-11) Went to restaurant and sat next to owner who was participating in the service while drinking coffee and watching on TV. (11:15-:45)

After breakfast, we tried to find the procession to Santa Maria Maggiore, but ended up on the wrong side. Might not have been able to get around due to the crowd. After the ”burial” we looked at the road.

Went to Colleseum. The procession went right in front of it - good place to see it Walked over to other areas - Palatine hills, etc. Flowers

Dinner at street diner: pizza, zuppa, bruschetta.

Jubilee for teenagers with 80,000 teens in the streets.
