The Headout organization is FORMIDABLE!!! Bravo, incredible. Lovely guide and very professional. Thank you. Unfortunately, I can't say anything about the event because everything happened outside (when I thought the papal audience would be held in Paul VI Hall), and I wasn't dressed properly. I was freezing...
