June comes in like a lion!


Rained all afternoon yesterday, and on the southside of Rome there was hale. Vatican Radio this morning said that yesterday was the coldest June 2nd since 1976. In fact, the temperature when we went to breakfast this morning was hovering around 10°. There is snow in mountains at 500 meters. At the present moment there are new editions of clouds building up, and rain is predicted again today. That hasn't stopped the pilgrimages. Streets around the Vatican will be closed all weekend. 300,000 pilgrims already have "ticket" to the mass for Pentecost in St Peter's Square.
